pratiksawai47 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 This is the pic of a yellow neo which has some kinda infection.she is no more,was curious to know what happened to her.a male was also infected before her who had gone white and was walking like a zombie and eventually died.but now everything is fine. Would like to hear what happened from your side[emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I would love to say bacterial infection, since that seems to be the standard answer for that type of question. However the body is not paper white. Often the fogginess of shrimp tissue in my experience is multiple causes. Sometimes just denseness of tissue and they are healthy. Other times too little oxygen, which can cause deaths. pratiksawai47 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pratiksawai47 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks for replying Bryce. Why didn't other shrimp face the same probs? Sent from my MotoE2 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Shrimp are created differently just like people. I have had two out of three kids come down sick this week and have to stay home from school, yet Nadia is fine. Just different individuals. pratiksawai47 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr0p Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I actually have a tank of yellows that look just like that. I too thought bacteria infection, but it's been 5 months now and none have died. They just have off coloring. pratiksawai47 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 A more clear picture might help. The coloration of yellow on that shrimp is terrible. Was it fully yellow when you got them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 That and check your params. Especially ph swing. At least that's the current theory. pratiksawai47 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Since the picture isn't very clear, we cannot determine 100% if it's bacterial infection. If it's not bacterial infection, it could be pH swings or your water is very dirty. What type of filtration are you using? The more details you provide us, the better we can assist you.

Sent from my MotoE2 using Tapatalk Can you try scooping it into a clear container or breeder box and take pics of it? More oxygen is most likely not the case since you're using a sponge filter.

dr0p Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Sure, I'll have some to compare in a few. I use nothing but RO water in all tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the shrimp inside is cloudy/milky, it's usually a bacterial infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr0p Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 A few that were willing to pose for a sec. They were pulled from other setups for fear of infection, but I've had zero deaths, and no new examples appear across any tank. Seems like they are just poorly colored/culls, at least in my case.

Ingredients: Vitamin A/E/C/B1, FeSO4, ZnSO4, MnSO4, Carophyll Your water/foods might be lacking a certain mineral require to have a nice yellow body. Your picture does look like culls though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr0p Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Something to look into for sure. Thanks! They are low quality, but still have grace in tank. Plus they make great scouts for new setups =P Shrimple minded, trinacw16 and Wygglz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
