Crazyfishlady Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 The 'white stuff' inside does look like a bacterial infection for sure... been there done that You might want to separate it and look for it in the others Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinman Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 It is not white it is more of a bright yellow green . I'm going to take it out of the tank. any idea if there are any meds I can use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Someone can correct me if I am wrong - but you shouldn't be able to see any 'stuff' inside a shrimp's body. There are various posts about different methods people have tried. Here is a link to one I posted, with some pics of my yellows that ended up dying... in case it helps http://www.shrimpspot.com/index.php?/topic/2524-what-is-wrong-with-this-shrimp-yikes/?hl=%20white%20%20stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfishlady Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Do any of the others have 'stuff' in them or are they 'clear' inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfishlady Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Keep an eye on the others, if you see any signs, pull them from the tank quickly. If you try any treatment, let us know how it goes for you please and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinman Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 That's what I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammaknits02 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 i also had to deal with a bacteria infection in my shrimp. A very wise and well known member from a FB group I belong to gave me some very good advice. first, remove any shrimp that are showing signs of infection, or are missing legs or antennae. Then you should add some Indian almond leaves to your tank...the tannins have antibacterial properties. Also dose with flourish excel following the directions on the bottle. Do a 20% water change every week. I did this and managed to save half of my colony. Good luck with this. Vinman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinman Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 How long does it take for them to die because this guy is active as all hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Mine took a few weeks and actually appeared to act very healthy, he ate, zipped around... but it was before I knew about any treatment options so he did eventually die.
