Excellent! That's good news. How's the surviving shrimp doing? I can update the article to include tri sulfur.

The one worst infected died that day. Thanks mate, yeah it was a bad idea, highly trusted seller to start. I have it under control now, I only separated and treated the infected shrimp then cleaned up the whole tank and have seen no deaths from my existing red colony. If the shrimp are healthy in the first place they aren't as susseptible to infections hey? Cause none of my shrimp caught it. Bought 10 chocs and 10 yellows. they spent 4 days in the post packed like this... none were dead in the bag, but already sickly looking, my mate said they would all die regardless of what I do. i lost 4 of each before introducing them to the tank. and another 2 of each that just didn't recover. Yeah I told him to watch a YouTube video on how to use breather bag stuff properly or at the very least read the instructions on the bag, He said that was abusing him... Then started saying his missus bagged them and the story kept changing. Then apparently the outter bags were breathers Aswell. They feel different hey? Like breather bags are rubbery and kind of stretch, and usually have instructions on them. They were just freezer bags. He just told me to F off before I even had a chance to ask for a refund. Sorry I can't upload any pics yet till I upgrade my membership, I've been meaning to, just broke haha Well I tested the tri-sulphar on some glass shrimp I had laying around and since yesterday they haven the died. Ive hit the chocs that were worst affected with tri sulphar after the last death, I figured why not? Worth taking a gamble rather then losing the lot. So I dosed at the standard recommended dose, and lost none overnight. Water change this morning. They seem happy, All the white fuzz is gone completely. They are in a seperate tank. so now I need to buy chocs and yellows again cause I really had my heart set on them. :)

Would be good to get a close up picture of it for proper identification. Amateur! That's not how you use breather bags. A salt bath should be sufficient for vorticella. Unless it is not vorticella. That picture would be good about now. Check the Diseases & Diagnosis thread that Rev linked. Follow the quantities as accurately as possible. A second salt bath might be needed. Did you put the infected shrimp in with your existing, healthy shrimp? That's not such a good idea.
