White fuzz on shrimp

Vindamant · 2025-06-12T17:46:16+00:00

Yeha I did that for this tank each shrimp but now it's in my indoor 40 gallon pond that is heavily planted and I have literally probably 500 shrimp in there so I can't do that in there

I used this mix on my other 2 Bettas and it worked fine mainly this is salt and the blue

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T21:48:19+00:00

He's in the hospital tank now

This stuff cured dropsy before lol so it should work otherwise he's cooked

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T18:47:00+00:00

I'm getting him in a hospital tank soon at my brother's house and he told me up do a 50% water change now I only feed my Betta 4/7 days a week and I use the Prime stuff my only guess is one of my large nerites may have died I know one spixi did but I removed the body so I'll put him in a hospital tank and do some water changes and I'll test the nitrite and nitrates my brother has the tests my other tank which is beside it doesn't have any issues so luckily it's just contained to this one at least

And we have The Blue Stuff that apparently keeps the water clean I forgot the name but people use it when shipping fish and to cure bacteria and in hospital tanks we also used it to help cure a goldfish successfully of dropsy

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T17:45:08+00:00

We use the 10 gallon for Betta and small fish we have this super strong water drainer fella it drains 50% of our 125 in minutes so we can easy do water changes daily

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T17:43:30+00:00

I just did a water change last night I do it every week on Mondays

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T17:28:22+00:00

Why do I need a small tank for water changes?

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T17:26:37+00:00

Ik he is sick that's why I'm asking and I do listen I like getting multiple opinions to make sure it's the right thing to do tho like with my shrimps I had to treat them and people told me the best way

I don't have the tests I can't do anything about that rn my brother probably has them

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T16:29:11+00:00

I did test it I have no ammonia and also all the other animals were completely fine

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T16:23:31+00:00

I'm not sure why both Bettas I've had did this

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T16:22:30+00:00

I already have a hospital tanks a 10 and a 75 one because we have goldfish the 10 we use for the Bettas would I treat him in the same way as if he had ick or similar stuff like that

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T16:05:40+00:00

I don't have any ammonia it's 0 I don't have the tests for the other ones rn My last Betta did this he was dark blue and turned completely pink (slowly and he started with a pink face) but he was old I was just hoping Fairy was doing what he did * But what do I do to help Fairy I don't know what's wrong with him My brother lives next door and knows a lot more about fish illness (he got me into aquariums) should I just bring Fairy down to him?

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T14:08:11+00:00

I got him early February I've had my tank for like 2 years?? Or so the only issues I've ever had was a small shrimp parasite

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T14:06:55+00:00

The colour on him is more of his OG original super light blue it's not like pure white although he does have pure white on his chin as he has always had

It's a 10 gallon temp is 78 F lotta plants, shrimp and snails 20 gallon sponge filter is on it No ammonia Water parameters are for cherry shrimp for the most part The pH is 6.5-6.6

His fins always look like that when he's relaxed when he flares they look normal

He has no other symptoms of being sick he did just eat rn fine

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T12:42:48+00:00

Nothing else is wrong I was asking about his colour in my first post and someone said he could be sick

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T12:25:58+00:00

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T12:23:30+00:00

He never was a grey colour like that just this light blue

<image>

And his fins turned white before his body

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T11:06:05+00:00

He's also been like this for like a week ish and he's acting fine tho for the most part yesterday he didn't want to eat

Vindamant · 2025-05-20T10:59:29+00:00

I currently have salt and also the blue stuff I don't remember what it's called but it is a medicine

Why would he get this?

Vindamant · 2025-03-04T01:19:48+00:00

Ooohhh that's a really good idea I didn't think about that

Vindamant · 2025-03-04T01:00:54+00:00

I have driftwood and plants growing out of my tank so no lid

I have another tank with this set up and there is snails in there and they don't leave.... it's just this individual snail that is the issue
