Wicklessfishmom Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Just noticed this red dot on the side of our amano shrimp. Is it something we should be worried about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 It looks like a bit of grit or dirt to me; maybe an old snail shell. Try using Maracyn if it persists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicklessfishmom Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Great news! Watched our shrimp to make sure he was fine after noticing a red dot in his side that I was concerned might be red mites. No change of behavior, good water parameters. This morning he had molted and no red dot! My son is now hooking up our microscope to see what the “spot” may be. Thanks for your help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
