Hi Simon, the one that had the rusty shell already dead... Hope everything gonna be okay, really desperate having high death rate in the tank.. may I know what causing the bacterial infection? The antennae is short.. is bb antennae is short or long?

If the deaths have stopped, then that is good news. Keep a close eye on them and look for brown spots, like the shell is rusting. All you should do know is make sure the tank parameters are stable and give them a clean, cycled tank.

Hi Simon and jayc After I read the shrimp disease topic I think my shrimps are having bacterial infection.. loss of colour, and the antenae, and when the shrimp dead their head have brown colour... The bb is still dying every week, than my friend ask me to water change for 40% and put seachem stability routine.. it have been almost a week now, and 0 death.. oh btw the bb is 5 left in the tank. They seem happy now and actively, but I don't know maybe I'm wrong.. Really sad having a lot of death in the tank...

Yeah they probably will be at a little bit of risk. Fortunately, I don’t have any fry currently in the tank, although I’ll have some in a couple weeks probably. We’ll see how it goes. There’s a heap of moss, and I’m sure it’ll grow loads, so by the time I have fry large enough to eat shrimplets, the moss should be dense and large enough that the fry can’t get to the little guys. Oh good spot Simon! I didn’t even notice that. I’ll see if I can find that shrimp today when I turn the lights on, and get a better look at whatever that is.

This photo is making me smile... The fish think "thank you master, my snack is coming, and look delicious" While the shrimp one the left think "OMG I must runaway from this..."
