what is this i'm throwing out to you all, iv'e never seen anything like it and don't know what to make of it, it's inside the shrimp,don't know if it alive or dead, it's not in the food tract as that's above (the black line)
i got a few photos but only one worth viewing before she ran off into the abyss, i'm trying to find her again but shes amongst a few hundred but ill keep trying, you can't see them from the other side,
its a Sakura yellow Neocaridina

Could be camallanus worms? I’m not sure if they can infect shrimp but they look very similar to what’s in the picture.

I guess the only things I can think of that look like that are bloodworms or camallanus worms. Is it at all possible that this is a new strain of camallanus worms?

If I find her ill isolate and look further into it, I was lucky to get that one photo, I csnt see any others infected or anything around the tank, she's also berried but I don't think she'll go to ground yet
