i am using the Dark Green GEX soil.
Anyone got any comments?
I have attached another Pics.

It seems like some fungus infection to me...

But can you post a photo closer...???

And does all of your CRS have this problem or just one piece that is infected???

[Neutral81]

Hmm.. Not all my CRS are affect about 3- 4 pieces... But i observed mostly SSS are affected.
Not sure is it normal or some sort of bactieral attack.. Have tried to change some water and add in more conditional to stablise the water parameters..

If your crs are really infected by fungus or bacteria, I don't think WC could really help them much. Apply some shrimp safe medication to cure them.

Better do so before the rest get infected....

By the way... are u running a chiller in your tank???

Any shrimp safe medication to recommend?

Hmm .... trade secret ......
I have ever cured a shrimp with fungus before, but not bacteria infection.

Do you aware that neo-caridina species are easily affected by parasites?

[Neutral81]

Hi,

I have a chiller running at 24 Deg C.
Water Parameters seem ok to me....
By the way, what medication do you recommend?

[cheetf]

Bro nasty12 also seem to have some problem with his shrimp darkening in the head area. Did you guys buy the shrimp from the same source?

See link.

[Neutral81]

The disease is really spreading... attempted to separate the affect from the rest but too difficult to spot and to catch... Will try to save what i can.

[newlife]

Wow...you case is like pretty bad....

Nasty shrimps change of colour is due to the same reason...same illness i guess.

Did you get the shrimps from the same source...maybe you can check with nasty how he cure his shrimps....

I hope such disease appear in Singapore is not the result of illegal hand carry in shrimps from other countries for sales which are not subjected to AVA check.

Can we trace to the source to the source of the disease by tell us where you get your shrimps from??

[Neutral81]

Thanks... I also hope they can recover... now can only change water, add conditional, tonic, etc.. In the mean time search if there are any medication suitable for shrimps.. Have visited seaview yesterday to search for medication but seem that there are currently no shrimp medication at the moment :-(
If anyone got good medication to recommend, please advise...

I recently got a batch from someone from the west, have contacted him about this but seems that he also got no solution at the moment as well.

Anyway, thanks for those that provide me with advise..
