It mustn't have any other additives. Definitely do not get the one with olive oil. How about this? ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/333691848858?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item4db195889a:g:qUUAAOSwmNFfOrIX&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAACkPYe5NmHp%2B2JMhMi7yxGiTJkPrKr5t53CooMSQt2orsSprd4IgPv6LBzlteBBg9Pe2s9Q3ArmIo1QP0X6Ta4faUbS2M1Ys3CL2Mu%2BelZ%2FmNyyn2BdrWifj%2F7eivVpHz3BkLBiSZFAl899%2BEGp6QvJ76aY8ZJzOqxmtowysTPUvKNsgBttVdLmLctFvkZyF5ZP0Lkiwy%2BfGGT%2B%2BNx%2B923ixcNKB7Maq%2FRsFRCHLU%2FIM1294sP1feactfoHDtRURtrhxNq%2Bh3vJ26jE8UcNgKyPmZeUkWqbt2XXNJzzh3e4zyGQ5flX2bva9fVk1tp9LVj2mIFPmHbin7rzA6ZKKP6MZZf9J0rxGzshZ1VsyOTsd%2BA9q5UDomLOHUSyzvIRuUehVAPwmRn2xc9RIHXJLHjVbw%2Bd1X9HvOmXiqInNsl2i3Ja7PoHpY1kL0OotKcXyfk1pSKnPJF%2B6bKeAvTBRVw3QcZzvOlrVNt5GEQ4kN6YHGSsT6vB%2FgXHhaBtcu6%2FMOvdl41pSorGNep5suafKBcPQP52nqxgnaMv8o%2FA1Nnyb%2BL2hwwaVhZmfcEudxUW%2F7MMmYV96LoTAMQLJjec%2F8WJIF36Wmg%2FTauktuv%2F%2B3Sgw5l2hruVTLNaFTF6bCJhAFcY9nPKI%2F%2Fzu3lhL3tHx09KUyQDzcKHSSOCf6rfGpvoJh2dpx8GTaF2nzYtL7vBHc%2FDbHeRKLSrdaak%2BE%2BeEl%2Bo7f9MzmFBshKzgoAEtZvqPM510vcJiZCqfOfeaLoGc%2F2P7x7n4b0NbtmHJWRhjU3LR0LNGywb476XnMuN2j7LP5%2BWOAyHIj97HUH%2FzlE7VdskJbr8DR4OIzc0hgeZ%2FKzVavZYGA%2BZcmnp1713PWb91n5|clp%3A2334524|tkp%3ABFBMsP-csqJf or https://www.ebay.com/itm/151500138650?hash=item23461ca89a:g:kx8AAOSwexNanr62 or https://www.ebay.com/itm/153875179746?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item23d3ace8e2:g:IWwAAOSwahVfwbOU&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAACkPYe5NmHp%2B2JMhMi7yxGiTJkPrKr5t53CooMSQt2orsStEKTPzZMfQmny3knR97t0KB2ArgpXVEqh%2F6kDVwf%2Byipwmqr8UtRzMFvfzZHqKiVojCKuKlOPutvULi2ojWd%2Bfcr%2FMTZPTfK3iFPqvS0WsyIuwzFVj%2Bm%2FV8HzL8K5E2Kj8OsOEMN6TjpMh6aUm9oVNPogum3Su9XHhVkx13Lp6HE4omsSNkeUNBJQixERlhjL%2FaPKMQLn8ljERSEIQuZhxRArt%2Bm9jLOJkn0yTFRxoi8sMpAW9C7i6f%2FXPa%2Bf1XyQZZVBxzAOn7J%2B7R%2BzkhX02Fu2ek9XrguI6MyG%2BG8VdTs8%2Fd4%2B6tXvhqNjs3JW%2BV%2FXQMWmRsXk3QWmPjKiqaHitzddW9A4sImIFIjTLfndrkgWCgu6ta7sx3iYzr4YDUu%2BNANJtBRKoZUzLii6Y9aJoXmAKqrqLeGHnqULHyhdNtHJWdyZkHrQpBo2sngaW63Zw4liEy3r0D7NitRz4KeZpIKc45uKecQKVUr0OjmDTd7e8aPc1eyaIrLpNzvqANgfmC5Mf4Ar7qM2NQ%2F3irQG%2FH%2FSwAppSMfZGZb%2FgoBw1B9jYiiTK1xrlqg6kvtcPLih33SR1dME4WJOonnoIsHY6mGFEZpzq6RYYbI%2Fs2h%2FCXtFjCGJhBIVlBhvCyVDu2%2BXGZc5CGhsZzC7GM%2FqS3CiyFK%2BaIOUQap2GXH2KmyewZVW9CdMOieveuJCy4wCSsJ3tkLlcC3bLgePlnpgPJp5%2FNmiH%2F3euF7GD2ivV6SuiaDz7hglEk45Z%2FvB85knM%2BBkqXwtt1scOT%2FIUwINhAdAn0Y22ZKb31P4HXntGNqyfRz8GvkLpkhrQRf92uJ0Psm|clp%3A2334524|tkp%3ABFBMsv-csqJf

It looks like a bacterial infection. Especially with the Brown spots (or Chitinolytic bacterial) disease. Turning milky white coloured (muscular necrosis) sorta confirms a bacterial infection. It's good that it is still eating. I would suggest reading this thread linked below ... https://skfaquatics.com/forum/forums/topic/5052-shrimp-diseases-and-diagnosis/?do=findComment&comment=70743 Especially the bit about treatment using Carvacrol 80+% (Oregano oil). Dilute 1 drop of Oregano oil 80+% to 90 drops of water (1:90ratio). Use this diluted oregano oil and add it to algae wafer and feed it to the shrimp. Keep this treatment of feeding carvacrol infused food to the shrimp for 3 days. Do not drip the oil into the tank directly. It has to be soaked into the food. You should be able to find Carvacrol oil online on Ebay or Amazon or in health food shops. Make sure you keep this shrimp separated, as Chitinolytic bacterial disease is highly contagious to the other shrimp.

Thanks for the links. I looked over the original disease post and it appears to be in the advanced stages. Do you think it can still be saved with the oil of oregano? Should I also try adding some hydrogen peroxide into the holding water? When I saw it in the store and in the bag on the way home, I was pretty sure it looked like an amano. I believe it had spots and dashes. Size was larger but was inline, imo, with a female amano. Though this photo is from the evening I put it in the tank. The top one has the markings of an amano and the bottom one is the sick shrimp in question. It lost all markings right away, but I thought the milkiness covered up the markings at that point. Also looks like the spot on the shrimp was a lot more mild than it is today. https://imgur.com/a/6ZGQztz

Thanks for getting back to me. I’m looking into oil of oregano options and it looks like there are products all over the map, especially ones that don’t list the carvacrol %. The ones that have carvacrol 80%+ all seem to be mixed with something, such as olive oil. Is that safe to use? I saw one that was supposed to be easy to mix with water as well (even though this will be dosed in food).

What is wrong with my amano shrimp? I've had this shrimp in an established planted tank for a couple months. After drip acclimating and placing it in my tank, it turned a milky cloudy color. I think I noticed a spot or two on it at the time, there seems to be more. It's hard to tell because they hide all the time. I never thought it would last this long but it has. I have it separated but it's acting normal and eating. I have other amanos in my tank but they do not appear to be affected. When I got it from my LFS, the shrimp was being difficult, zipping around the tank and even tried to jump but hit the guys hand and fell back into the tank. I purchased another amano out of the same tank on the same trip and it does not show any of the same issues. I'm pretty stumped. All my searching online end in no results or dead ends.
