Illness & Symptoms
How long have you had this shrimp? 5 months
How long ago did you first notice these symptoms? A month ago
In a few words, can you explain the symptoms? I see no real symptoms, I just slowly found my adult shrimp dead, one by one, over the past month.
Have you started any treatment for the illness? No
Was your shrimp physically ill or injured upon purchase? Not that I was aware of
How has its behavior and appearance changed, if at all? I noticed no odd behavior prior to the deaths of my adult shrimp.
Starting a month ago, I began losing my adult shrimp one by one. It didn't happen quickly, maybe one dead shrimp every 3 or 4 days. I saw no change in behavior at all. The only odd thing I noticed was in ONE blue shrimp - he faded & spotted over the past month & he died today. I was doing extra water changes because my Nitrates were high. I now have my nitrates down to 20ppm, but I lost my last adult today. I've now lost all my adult shrimp and have only fry and juveniles. I'm worried that whatever is wrong will keep them from growing to adulthood and through adulthood.
