that is good to know thanks for the update
cured my shrimp of that parasite/protozoa!!
a while back i posted a thread about that disease thats popping up in some shrimp. looks furry and green like deflated eggs under the belly? well i'm happy to say i cured my little shrimp! i still have him in QT but i don't see any signs of it on him anymore.
i know you all say that 'ick' med is bad for inverts, but maybe hes strong (blue neo) but i did dips of it every couple of days over the past 2 weeks. about 1-3 drops in less than a gallon of water. one time i left him overnight because i forgot but still was kicking. its the malachite green / formalin products. be careful obviously but it was a success! hope you give it a try if you see that on your shrimp too...
now if i can only stop my random red cherry deaths. :icon_frow

Great news. Have you tried salt dips?
Great info for people having problems with this. Thanks for posting your results!
Great job! I just relayed the info along to some FB groups as well because it is rocking the Euro stocks now...apparently. Thanks for the update
no salt. the person i got the shrimp from told me formalin was the only cure. so i gave it a shot. (but the first thing i did was salt with no result)Great news. Have you tried salt dips?

Glad you found something that worked, you should PM randyl and let him know. He is dealing with this stuff on his imports.

He's a good person. I've had the pleasure of talking to him via pm's. A nice guy and I'm sure he could really use the info. :thumbsup:
Is there a specific product name? Or did you just use quick cure?
i think it was just quick cure? pretty sure all those blue ich ones are the same?Is there a specific product name? Or did you just use quick cure?
I just wanted to know, I only have a few meds and I wanted to know a name so it can be suggested to people when needed by name. You can gt quick cure at walmart, if there is no pet store near you,
