mikelam88 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hi, I noticed this green thing on one of my red cherry shrimp (first two pics). Internet search says it’s green fungus and I did 3-4 salt dips on it a week ago. The bright green is currently gone and now it’s more of a white (third pic). I’ve isolated it into a separate container and my other 3-4 red cherry shrimp don’t seem to have this issue. Should I still continue doing salt dips or is there something else I can try? Water Parameters: pH- 6.8 Nitrates - 20-30 ppm Hardness - 75-150 Nitrite -0 Ammonia-0 KH/Buffer - low Water Temperature - 72 F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Scutariella Japonica or Vorticella seems to be what you're dealing with. https://aquariumbreeder.com/understanding-dwarf-shrimp-diseases-and-parasites/https://aquariumbreeder.com/shrimp-infection-vorticella-treatment/https://aquariumbreeder.com/shrimp-disease-scutariella-japonica-treatment/ Edited January 28, 2023 by nabokovfan87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
