Very exciting times. Lots of potential

Use oxytetracycline 250 mg tablets , one per 10 litre of tank water, IE 40 litre use 4 tablets , mix them in a food grade plastic bottle with tank water or ro water keep occasionally shaking they will take 10 or 15 minutes to disolve then pour and mix , 48 hours later third water change matching tds and temperature then re dose , another 48 hours same water change and re dose third and final time wait 48 hours and water change and if possible remove any remaining drug with carbon but its usual that it breaks down after 2 days . vets can supply box of 28 tablets. moving them may look at problem solved but it's not only takes one to carry the infection and then it's a merry go round , hope you can get the treatment

Thanks @ineke, that's what I was thinking. It makes me glad that whilst they never seem to throw out any TTBs any more, my TB tank will probably never be 100% pure and so I don't need to stress out about whether other people are correct when they sell me pure TBs :) Good thing I've got such a fixation on stripes!

I am glad your shrimp are all fine. I just wanted to add that I have used Genchem No Planaria in all my tanks over the last few months and have not had any dosage related deaths in shrimp, even after dosing for double the period of time recommended ( CRS, TB, OEBT, Blue Dream, GB, Rili ). I have also not done the water changes they recommend with the last dosages as I had surviving Planaria if I did a WC after dosing. I have to add that I run chillers and two airlines per tank to keep the O2 levels high. WC recommended if you do not run a chiller or more than one airline. The No Planaria also eradicated Hydra permanently. I have not had any Planaria in my tanks for months, but I suspect eradicating all Planaria have now caused the Ostracods to take over, as their population has boomed- I suspect the young/ eggs might have been eaten by Planaria...now I have messed with the food chain and am paying for it. When I do not have baby shrimp roaming around, I will unleash my beasts! ( actually two docile and completely harmless corys with a taste for seed shrimp ;)

Update on section 1. Blue Dreams and PRL. I have Not taken many pictures of my Cherries and focused on my other shrimp so this time I wanted to share more cherry pics.
