A Gerald Bassleer–led YouTube presentation documenting an Atyopsis (bamboo) shrimp with visible wounds and lesions. Microscopy revealed small stalked ciliates (parasites) and the presenter describes a mixed infection—bacterial plus parasitic—likely aggravated by capture/handling. Recommended interventions include an antibacterial/antibiotic and Bassleer’s FMC (formalin + malachite green + methylene blue) mixture, plus probiotic/prebiotic shrimp food to support immunity.

Hello dear fish keeper, dear aquarist with a beautiful background.

And also in my books on the.
Stalact ciliated parasites causing false fungal infection. And we have found well a mix of a bacterial infection and a parasitic infection.
It could be caused by damage due to collecting, handling, transport. And we would recommend an antibacterial medication like an antibiotic together with fmc, the formalin malachite green and methylene blue mixture that I developed in 1998 and described in my books.
