Hi all, 

I’m confused about the ID on this parasite/infection my neo has. She has nothing on her head/rostrum at all...it seems to be mostly around her eggs, with some on her shell, off to the side.

I’ve done one salt dip on her already, and no change so far. 
 

I have some great pics of it, but even a single pic is apparently much to be posted here. Can someone help me out with that? Newbie, here. ?

No. So far I haven’t seen any examples of it, not exactly. If I could Frankenstein from multiple parasites, I’d have it! Lol. 
 

Wish I could post a pic. I tried to change my phone’s settings and was unsuccessful. I have a great video of it, too. ☹️

Can you upload the video on YouTube maybe? Not too hard. Then link it here.

Oh, good idea. Dur!

Alternatively you can always post it on a free hosting website and provide the link.

However, we encourage people to sign up for Platinum membership, which removes all upload restrictions (within reasonable limits). And it really helps out with maintenance of this site. If you find the resources here worthwhile, it's a good idea to support the site.

Had a look at your vid. That's fungus.

Malachite Green should do the job.

Not sure if you realised jayc but copper did include a video link already. I checked it out but I have no idea whatsoever. Which makes sense, because the only diseases I know are ones that people post about on here ?

Yes I saw the link to the video. It was a shameless plug for SKFA to encourage more memberships. It helps the site keep running. I'm sure @Cesar would agree, as he runs this site.

Well ... read the Diseases and Diagnostics thread from start to finish and you will be an expert on the subject.

You sure? This is pure white...all of the others I saw were green or yellow.

Very good video, lovely and clear.

This isn't an area I am experienced with, but the colour of the fluff may be related to the colour of the eggs ?

I don’t think so—not if it’s a fungus. I could be wrong since I don’t know exactly what it is.

I can’t seem to find a single pic of this on another shrimp; it’s bizarre.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
