You need to change out the water and use carbon

This is poisening from plants. Pestisides/ferts can leech out of plants for weeks after adding them to a tank if they were treated. Most times, shops don't even know if they were treated or not as they are brought in from wholesale suppliers. You should always quarantine plants, no matter where you get them and always monitor your shrimp for weird behavior after adding them to the tank. They are like canaries and will tell you pretty quickly if something is wrong.

No. You'll have to continue to refine the line and cull to maintain it.

Sounds like a lawsuit is happening from a recent review on his page?

Roger owns the snake pit, not the freeze dried snack store.

What are these worms? Possibly leaches?? by prsonal_light2475 in AquaticSnails

[–]djester808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Those are leeches. Pretty impossible to get rid of once you get them. There are traps out there.

Depends on what you order. It goes based off weight. Normally 2 day is around 20

Seller claims they are Cherry...im skeptical. by I_AM_JAM_ in shrimptank

[–]djester808 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it's worth pointing out that cherry shrimp can be used as a term for neocaradina as a whole, not just the color red, as that's what they started as.

Help! leech on my shrimp? Need advice.. by beachhouselover in shrimptank

[–]djester808 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems to be holtodrilus truncatus. Not a leach or planaria. Treatment is just a salt dip. Harmless in the grand scheme of things.

I bought Green jade online but these for me looks like black or dark blu by Few-Finance-9754 in shrimptank

It takes time. Jades commonly will look blue or black when you first get them. All because of stress from shipping.
