JamesHe Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I have few bacteria infected yellows, and lost couple over time due to water quality issue. I had moved all to the new tank. This is the last one I believe still survive. It's very interesting that when I put a blue LED light (10W) on top of the tank. You can't see other yellows, but infected one is very easy to identify, the body looks opaque under blue light.

Shrimpie Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Very interesting - I wonder if the blue led lighting on the Current USA lights would show that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 I'm thinking this is the same as light lighting up a frosted glass as opposed to transparent. However it also makes me wonder how accurate this may be. Imho some non-infected neo tissue can look like wax paper, while bacterial often shows up as paper white. In this case, any shrimp that is not transparent will reflect light. Neat observation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
