Soothing Shrimp Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Try treating and if it goes away it could be a non lethal bacteria. Could be this, I suppose. My personal theory has always been if in doubt, cull. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinman Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 How long do I need to wait before I can put It back in the colony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I wouldn't add until the stuff inside is gone. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiumanfu Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Post a clear picture. Adding him back to the colony is risky. Personally I would cull. One RCS is not worth the potential to infect the entire group. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinman Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Suppose this is not a bacterial infection but as gene mutation. At this point I can't rule anything out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolutionhope Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 i dunno if the condition is always 100% white ... but if not then might it be muscular necrosis? I had the same thing happen to one of my more sensitive neos about 2 months ago as a result of too much nitrate.. I did a lot of WC and it is still healthy and now developing a good saddle despite the necrosis still being visible inside it. the section inside yours does look very similar to what I have going on except with mine it is definitely white love n peace will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinman Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I got to admit Iv like to give him a 5 gal to him and 4 females Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Are you really desperate for males? Is that why you want to put him back into the main tank? He might be like some people who carry a bacteria but show no signs but as soon as others come near they react negatively to the same bacteria. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinman Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Because if it a gene mutation I don't want to lose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 if you have the extra females I would say it's safer to place one female with him rather than risk the colony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinman Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I got 2 females with him in a 1 gallon jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
