I woke up this morning to the sides of her carapace folded outward and almost bubble like or inflated. She can't swim straight.

Water params are ph 6.4 gh 5 kh 0 everything else 0

Normal weekly to bi weekly water changes.

Color is not normal either

Ummm she might get stuck to something on her body?

 

[AnionAndCation]

I've seen something similar with taiwan bees, except it's a genetic defect with the taiwan bees, my guess for your pfr is some kind of infection, be it fungal or bacterial

 

[lemonnoodle]

That looks painful

 

[wicca27]

looks like a molt problem

 

[Subtletanks91]

Willa that's what h4n said as well. My test readings always vary test to test. Liquid not very reliable lately

 

[lemonnoodle]

What causes molt problems? No calcium in the water?

 

[Subtletanks91]

Usually if the gh is too high or to low along with tds not at the right level. I think the planaria in my tank have something to do with it because I just pulled her out she just passed away and they were covered her.

I'm not positive it's a molting issue because there's several old molts for last night from others in the tank.

 

[greenteam]

Yeah looks like a failed molt. I normally see it when they get that half split look.

 

[sbarbee54]

That is a molt issue for sure. If you see that seperation in your taiwan bees, who ever mentioned that above, you might have aTB disorder called ballon head
