Baby OEBT day 4.

Today the mom was dead. Here is hoping all or most of her young survived.

Yeah it turns into a giant squid when I do that.

Also hide any School girls who happen to be about.

Yeah, Ima have to take your word for it.

Click the zoom in button and look at the eyes...

[OEBlueTigerShrimp]

yeah but you can already see the orange eyes, which is so awesome.

Looking like some of the RCS I had.

[OEBlueTigerShrimp]

I started there, I found one on the mopani underside with a flashlight. I have no idea how I saw it but I did and I got a few pictures, not the greatest in the world but as good as I could get with my camera.

More Photos on my Blog

Look inside any sponges you have.

Update - Pretty sure she hatched her eggs.

No idea where they are hiding.

Pictures later tonight, if i can find them.

I will write it later today and post it here first to get feedback.

I would say it is a pathogen because it is almost identical to how the shrimp she sent me started to look and my water quality is not in question. I will say that it has been about 12 hours since my first dose of Maracyn Two and the shrimp that were cloudy seem to be slightly less cloudy. Now to keep it up for 4 more days and hope for the best.

I like your idea of a sarcastic thank you.

You could also write a very terrific thank you for the shrimp that borders on 'criticizing'. Show pics and tell her how happy you were about all the blondes you received and about how you appreciate the heads up about the infection 2 days after putting them in your tank. Mention you have only lost 25% of the ones she shipped you. Talk about how you've had them for days in your tank and can't wait till they all turn deep dark blue like the ones in her pics. Everyone will be able to read between the lines and a great reveiw like that will go far in making her clean up her act without actually saying anything bad or negative. Its just the truth and she can be proud of her stoick and practices...

I'll agree somethng is affecting them, but inverts are tough to diagnos and lacking her parameters (especially from an independent source) it is nearly impossible to guess as to its nature. It could be temp, water quality, an introduced pathogen (bacterial or viral), food source, pollutant. The list is really long and impossible to isolate...

i don't feel bad at all looking at the PT thread she started about her red tiger shrimp that look like they too have contracted the same bacterial infection that the shrimp she sent me had.

Take a look and tell me if you agree with my diagnosis
