In my travels of trying to read up a bit on shrimp, I came across it being said a white inside is either a bacterial infection or muscle necrosis.
I have what I believe to be a Neocaridina Heteropoda that has been showing some whiteness on the insides.
It is housed in a community tank.
Nitrate = <10
Ph= 6.8
Gh = 179
Kh = 125.3
TDS = ? (dont know how to test for this)
water changes weekly
It is still swimming around a bit. Acting normal. But getting really white on the inside. Kind of thinking its the bacterial infection if those are the only 2 reasons.
I came across the Shrimp Medicine Cabinet thread and was thinking of trying the Seachem Paraguard in a seperate QT, but was wondering if thats how I should progress? And how would I dose it; as per directions or reduced for being shrimp?
And all other shrimps are fine. Ghosties and other neo het's are showing normal behavior/looks. Only the one is off.
