I believe those medicines aren't for shrimp? It would be much too strong... I would just let it be...

That is not the shrimps saddle. Those are the shrimps swimerettes. (Someone will need to tell you the proper name) This appears to be a berries shrimp. As the eggs develop they get bigger and bigger. Depending on how many eggs she is holding, they may bulge out at the bottom. I think this is what your seeing.

I heard from someone that this is a fungal infection. The eggs are supposed round but these things are straight strands. Here are more pics.

yeah they do. :icon_frow Any ideas how to cure the shrimp? Should I isolate? The only thing I can do is fill a jar with aquarium water dose the shrimp with api pimafix leave it for an hour or two (Since there is no oxygen source) then place it back in the tank. I could also add a tenth of the primafix dosage in the tank to avoid contagion.

im not sure but quarantine sounds like the first step. hopefully someone with experience with pimafix will chime in. as far as o2 water changes oxygenate..

I've been trying to breed them for 7 months. When I heard people say eggs I was excited. :frown:

 

[aparker]

you havent had any babies in 7 months?

 

[mordalphus]

That looks more like a parasite. Fungus looks fuzzy.

Use seachem paragard

You should try again. In just water... I went planted the first time I had shrimp.., I also ended up with millions of shrimplett eating scuds... Than I tried it with jus water and shrimp... I had a small colony and add them to my chi and it went well den I moved and sold them all for a new tank..

I already have a 15 gallopn tank build just waiting for seachem black florite sand shipment to arrive at my lfs. Its going to be seachem florite black sand with either a canister or a sponge filter, fire moss in the middle and breeding tube.

I used a quarter of the required dosage of Meflafix on the tank and the recommended dosage of pimaflix on the infected shrimp in the bucket. Hopefully all goes well.
