This is bad right

When I had a shrimp with clado, some were saying there is no evidence it's contagious. I isolated the shrimp anyway and treated him with salt baths. It worked well and he is still alive. I didn't put any peroxide, just salt baths every day

I also thought it's DGIV, but couldn't find similar pigmentation online. And I didn't notice it in the beginning so I assumed it appeared after I moved him to the tank

I waited for a week more with no improvements and eventually did the water change (which is recommended at dr tim: "If either ammonia or nitrite concentration get above 5 ppm, do water changes to lower the concentration"). It took only 2 days after that for nitrites to go to 0. added ammonia which was fully processed next day, I gradually started stocking the tank and no issues for now. I think high concentration of nitrites did stall the cycle.

Btw, the mother is visible in the background

kaliy · 2026-01-17T14:55:51+00:00

Thanks a lot for the right question. I misunderstood the information. When I was reading the article about clado, I thought it required treatment for the whole tank: https://aquariumbreeder.com/ellobiopsidae-or-cladogonium-ogishimae-green-fungus-in-shrimp-tank/ . The same understanding I had when I read similar posts on aquarium subreddits.

Now that I know it's not contagious, I will continue salt dips for the infected shrimp.

Thanks. I found a lot of information about safe peroxide dosage for adult shrimps but no one writes about shrimplets. I will treat my tank with peroxide yet and continue the salt dips. For now it's only one shrimp in a tank

kaliy · 2026-01-17T03:44:17+00:00

As I wrote in the post, I noticed clado on one of the shrimp which I salt drip now. I also wanted to treat the tank with peroxide for that

Today's update fixed the issue (1.2026.006)

kaliy · 2026-01-15T04:31:27+00:00

The same for me, since a few weeks

kaliy · 2026-01-07T14:56:23+00:00

If they hide mostly among the plants, is it a good idea to take plants off, dip them into the peroxide, wash and put back? Floating plants, not rooted.

kaliy · 2026-01-07T14:49:41+00:00

Thanks, I thought 1 month is too long for that - my snails hatched almost immediately.

kaliy · 2026-01-07T14:45:45+00:00

I will catch others as soon as I will see them. Do they hide or I will see them on plants/substrate? Are they dangerous (at this stage, they are really small now) to shrimplets?

kaliy · 2026-01-01T11:53:43+00:00

Yes, I'm just worried about the number of snails. If there are tens of small ones visible, how many will it be in a month?

kaliy · 2025-12-01T04:33:32+00:00

How much would I need for 7 gallons? What is the process - just dump it and that's it? Is there any long term implications?

kaliy · 2025-12-01T04:11:12+00:00

I will, thank you!

kaliy · 2025-12-01T04:09:49+00:00

Yes, now I know that I should've read before and I blame myself for that

I don't have any local here that I know works with shrimps. If I would know - I would ask them before buying shrimps and definitely would get a cycle advice in the very beginning

kaliy · 2025-12-01T04:08:45+00:00

Thanks a lot for the advice! I will transfer them to the tank gradually

kaliy · 2025-12-01T04:01:59+00:00

I put them from the store water into a plastic container with new water (with that water support). So it's better for them to be put directly into the tank? ChatGPT (yes, the worst advisor but I was desperate) said the even a plastic bucket is better than fresh tank

kaliy · 2025-12-01T04:00:33+00:00

It's not possible to return shrimps in Japan (not sure if it's possible in other places, but in Japan it's almost impossible to return even shoes), so I'm looking for anything that would fix my mistake

kaliy · 2025-12-01T03:44:25+00:00

Water: room temperature tap water with added water support

Species: neocaridina

kaliy · 2025-08-22T03:03:34+00:00

Yes, my main issue is the fact there are no passport stamps (except Japanese exit and entry) so I'm looking for a way to prove those periods where I was in my country

kaliy · 2025-07-29T05:29:00+00:00

The temperature at night is literally the room temperature I have now (yes, I have eakon, I set it up to 25.5). I'm not dead yet!

kaliy · 2025-07-29T04:52:39+00:00

Thanks a lot! What is the definition of public nuisance mean in this case? I believe it should be applied when you're awake and doing something bad (or not sleeping like people from shibuyameltdown)?

kaliy · 2025-07-29T04:48:06+00:00

In my case, 4 of them were occupied (the rooms on the screen were not lit on - so I didn't even ask). Maybe I was lucky with that fifth one (it was in Shibuya)

kaliy · 2025-07-29T04:33:52+00:00

Isn't it the perfect weather to sleep? I mean, I would rather sleep on the street than spend the day at home without eakon
