I was frantically trying to work out why my shrimp are all dying and it just so happened that I couldn't sleep last night and walked past my tank and saw recently dead shrimp glowing in the dark!
I couldn't beleive it. I have since learned that this is caused by the Vibrio harveyi bacteria which will cause a 100% mortality in my shrimp.
I am wondering if anybody has heard of a treatment for this disease?
Shrimp are a must for me.
I have read that this disease can strike when shrimp are stressed, water quality is poor and when shrimp are overcrowded (stress), and/or water becomes too hot for them.
My shrimp may be stressed from their adaption to their new environment, deaths in the shrimp caused a slight increase in ammonia, the water got up to 30 degrees celcius a few times and I have been putting about 80 shrimp into my tank which would be less than 10 per square foot which I thought woudl be fine.
