Garaxy Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Just noticed these green things growing on my RCS swimmerets. Any idea what these could be and how to cure it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmiko Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 AHHH! Green fungus! Separate the shrimp from the rest and check the others for infection. I do not think there's a cure.... Soothing Shrimp and Kat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garaxy Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 After researching more, I decided to pull the two infected ones out before things became worse. Low survival rate and high infection rate. Kat and ohmiko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmiko Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Maybe a little water change too just to be safe? Soothing Shrimp and Kat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmiko Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 it's so weird After commenting on this, I got paranoid and checked my own shrimp and i found one that had new growth like on the first swimmerets :((( And found new grown on another :/// I'm gonna try to move it to Caridina water and see if acidity helps + force molt Kat and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmiko Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 update: the one that I literally scooped out and threw into caridina water, is once again, fungus free! I won't be reintroducing it back into the tank for a while as precaution Soothing Shrimp and Kat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I'd love to see if others could replicate your "remission!" ohmiko and Kat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nubster Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Wonder if it would be worth doing some treatment on the tank to prevent any spread? Is there even a preventative? Other than tearing down the tank and nuking everything? Also...is that a new shrimp or were there recently added shrimp in the tank? If not...how does this happen? Shrimp previously infected and the fungus is dormant until conditions are right and then it rears its ugly head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
