Tiamat Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi all! I'm new to the forums, go easy on me So I noticed that a couple of my Neocaridina have this white tubular thing attached to the end of their snout. At first I thought it was just a discoloration or bit of stuck-on food particles. However the tubule has been there for days and today, I noticed it was wriggling like a worm! Is this some sort of parasite or commensal organism? Thanks for any insight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimp Life Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 You will need to do a salt dip on all shrimp and remove all molts out of the tank going forward... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiamat Posted October 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I think you are both right. I did a 30 sec salt dip: 1 tablespoon Kosher salt + 16 oz tank water Now the Scutariella are gone! My shrimp thanks you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
