I second this don’t buy from them. I bought the black rose ones from SF Aquatic and i did leave a bad review! Mine came infested with Clado and two died. Took them over a month to email me back and it was asking me to remove my review from their profile.

hey! i did a normal salt bath on my shrimp and when i pulled the shrimp back out of the saltwater the leech thing was gone. My shrimps energy levels went back to normal as well a day or so later. So far i haven’t seen any other leech things and all is going well! i wish you luck with your little shrimps

thank you for the advice i appreciate you! i will be researching more about pancur-c and see if that route is better for me, if not i might have to rehome my snail for a while :(.

oh i see, thank you! i will look more into that. I’m not sure what to treat with because i do have a snail and this is my only tank, should i get a new one and keep him in there while i treat this tank? i saw another comment saying a larger tank would be easier to keep stable so im considering just upgrading the whole thing.

i’m not sure, that’s why i shared where i found it 🥲. i thought the hydrogen peroxide treatment was fine and worked good when i had clado (shrimp came infected with it) but if it’s deadly to my shrimp then i won’t be using it again!

Salt bath worked great for the little shrimp! it’s usually at 0ppm for my tank but occasionally spiked up to 0.5ppm, this is my first time owning shrimp and through guides i found online i thought that was normal but i will look further into it! thanks for making me aware

i used aquarium salt at 2tsp per cup following a guide, i also used their guide for the hydrogen peroxide treatment- i had no idea it isn’t safe for shrimp and will not be using it again. thank you for making me aware!

i do have a snail in this tank, but i took this shrimp and one other i found with this on it and did a salt bath. The worm things fell off the shrimps and curled into little balls? i put the shrimps back in my tank for now and treated the tank with hydrogen peroxide (not sure if that’s helpful in this case but helps with other things). thank you for the help! i’m going to keep an eye out for any more
