The power ball from last nights draw is the number 18 http://www.lotterywest.wa.gov.au/results/powerball And the winner is ‌@Ronskitz Grats man!

Hello ‌@Pedro I believe your shrimp may have Chitinolytic bacterial disease, Shell disease, Brown spot disease, Black spot disease, Burned spot disease, Rust disease. This is essentially a bacterial infection of Chitinolytic bacteria (Gram negative rods) including Vibrio spp. , Benekea spp., Pseudomonas spp., Aeromonas spp., Spirillum, spp. and Flavobacterium spp. The impact on the shrimp is visible as the exoskeleton becomes pitted, eroded, and melanized at the site of infection. Diagnosis: Erosion of chitin demarked by dark brown to black pigmentation demonstrates chitinolysis. Marks change colour from a rusty to a brown and finally a black colour. Ulcers form on these lesions, as the bacteria will destroyed muscle tissues under the shell. This opens the shrimp up to other secondary infections. The most common sites of infection is the gill, abdominal muscle belly, tail section and gastropods. Seriously infected will just lie on its side, only gastropods and gills in motion. http://shrimpkeepersforum.com/forum/topic/5052-shrimp-diseases-and-diagnosis/?page=1 From ‌@jayc post.

Work has started on the poster, any comments appreciated. The article that the poster will be attached to will include real photos of the various graded shrimp as well.

Hello everyone! I've checking some of my Taiwan bee and found some odd looking ones and I need your help to identify the causes. I get some death's every now and then and the exoskeleton when these shrimps molt is usualy redish. Here are the pictures: Picture 1- Right between the head and the first white stripe: Picture 2 - That rust looking patch: Picture 3 - The band in between the head and the abdomen: My tank parameters last time were not that great: Ph: 7.5 No2: 0 mg/L No3: 0 mg/L Gh: 5 °d Kh: 3 °d Thanks in advance!

Being new to the forum, i would like to share some pictures of some my favourite shrimps :-)

Well the tank I call my "Native Tank" is now I think officially full. The little spotted blue eyes have been doing their thing and I recently just spied another 2 newborn fry and a slightly older one. I am hoping to eventually end up with a really decent sized self maintaining school of them. Sharing the tank are Blackmore River Shrimp which seem to go through phases of heaps and lots of babies down to a few, back up to a population explosion as it warms up again. The tank is heated of course other wise they would freeze in winter, but they still seem to decline or slow in breeding during winter. Then there are the Northern Australian Chameleon Shrimp also in the tank, I don't often get to see them but when I do they are always a pleasure. The tank is now also home to a group of Darwin Algae Shrimp, and most recently some Darwin Red Nose Shrimp. In all honesty I think instead of simply calling this tank my native tank I need to call it my NT tank. But then there is the snails that are sharing the tank with all the NT beauties. Slowly but steadily I have increased the notopala snails up to now 8 which has taken many hours of regular searching in a local stretch of river watching all the time for crocs. With the notopala snails I have also found some other gems, namely a HUGE type of long black snail along the lines of MTS, but these black ones are a LOT bigger and have pretty yellow spots on their bodies. The other snail of interest is a smaller snail again similar in shape to MTS and roughly around the same size but it has very defined blunt spikes on its rather chunky shell.

lol yea the link you sent isnt what i was thinking, thats for sure, thats a good sprayer!

Thanks for the reply! I was wondering the same sadly, just wanted some confirmation. My issue is that I can't get my hands on Levamisole HCL. I have some questions about that bacterial disease: - Would it be best to restart the tank? What about the tons of moss I have growing? - Is there any other chemical that would work? I can get my hands on API FISH BACTER STOP and Esha 2000. - How would I know when the shrimps are cured?
