Annie Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 My shrimp has these on her tail and theyve been there for a couple days. Her eggs hatched close to a week ago if that helps? Shes still moving around as much as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSak Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi @Annie! I've seen and heard of something like this but have never really experienced it for myself, but it appears like muscle necrosis/myonecrosis. If you look up "muscle necrosis in shrimp" you can compare the pictures and symptoms your shrimp may be showing to what's there to see if it matches. I've heard that it can be due to bacterial infections, poor water quality, stress, etc., but since I've never experienced it myself I can't say for sure what causes it. If it's due to a bacterial infection there's a chance that it could spread to other shrimp in the tank or possibly to the babies that just hatched from it. I'm also not too sure about treatment, but salt dips/baths seem to be a good start for most fish/shrimp diseases. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Muscular Necrosis, remove the shrimp and all others that look like this. Keep up with water changes and good water quality. JSak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 She actually passed a couple days after posting this, but ill make sure to keep up on the water changes to keep the babies healthy. Thank you for the help for the future though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
