I have a community tank with ghost shrimp, peppered corys, snails and platies. All my shrimp look normal except for one who has turned completely white. Is he sick?
It depends on how white. If its like a slight milky tingex then its probably just molting. It it looks like its eaten white paint, and its insides are nearly completely white, its sickly. Once it turns white, I don't know how to helo them. All mine die less than a month after they show the white gutsI believe that means he is going to be molting soon
Yeah. None of my shrimp have had it since that poor guy. My shrimp seem happy, I even have berried ghost shrimp!VERY late reply, but this is most likely something called Muscular Necrosis, which commonly affects Ghost Shrimp.
This is a useful thread about shrimp diseases in general, but here is the section for necrosis and its causes: Shrimp Diseases and Diagnosis
