Chocoarisu Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 My blue bolt is turning orange. Other than his color change he seems okay. Is he sick? Should I be worried? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 The rusty color could be an indication of chitinolytic bacterial disease, a bacterial infection that affects a lot of freshwater shrimp. If he seems fine otherwise, than I would keep an eye on him but not separate him yet. If it advances and you think he is ill, I would isolate him in a hospital tank and treat him and your regular tank water (chitinolytic bact. disease can be caused by a variety of in-tank factors like poor water quality or long usage of soils). Could be a color change due to a new substrate as well, but that seems less likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
