dirtyfeetindeed Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Some of my shrimps have a double white line of death, at least one has died with this. The clear rings will be in the middle and then one of two more lower on the tail in addition to the classic WLOD i have read about. Has anyone else experienced this?

uuaaayyy Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Not in my experience, but this should be the same disconnected segments of the exoskeleton, with the same consequence. But white line becomes line of death only if shrimp doesn't molt successfully. I have seen several cased of difficult molting, kind of agonized, laboring movements, then, quite soon, molted old shell and alive shrimp separately. They were new groups of neos, within three weeks after arrival, few of them in observable quarantine. If your shrimp are not new arrivals, see if GH is not too low or not too high, if they have enough protein and minerals in food and if tank water TDS is close to TDS of the water for water changes.
