Maurice Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hi everybody, I have noticed two of my tigers that has this weird looking deformity. They have not had it always, but this is the first time I see them like this tank w/p are Ph 6.6 GH 7 TDS 155 KH 0/1 The tank has been running for 8 months and this is the first time I am noticing something like this. Looks like a molt problem.... Other shrimp are fine and breeding crazy I have added a spoon of old sea mud to help with molting, but for these two I think its a little to late Not the best pics, I only had my phone with me Anybody that have seen this before and help me in the right direction please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I had a similar thing happen with one of my auras a while ago. I thought it was a bacterial infection. I isolated the shrimp and preformed daily small water changes to force it to molt. Towards the end of the week it had molted and looked normal again. Hopefully there's still hope for your tiger![emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Maurice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have isolated them in a breeder box, will see what happens and 1 is a full berried lady I added another spoon full of old sea mud and 1ml of flourish for traces in the water.....te other shrimp are more active in the tank will update on what happens Quickly took out the DSLR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted June 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 They have all 4 past on Just wondering what could have caused this as its the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuri Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 What the hell?? Never heard or saw it before... Looks like the shell is "broken" open. What do you feed them? You might feed some nutricians too much which causr it to grow way faster then it can handle and causes it to explode in it shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
