Fish disease case nr. 65 Shrimp Neocaridina with worm infection

Dear aquarist fish keeper Usually I bring.

Cases on fish diseases. And shrimp of course, are becoming a.

Very important aquaculture, livestock ornamental product. In our industry and in the aquarium industry, we have seen so many shrimps.

Coming in into the market and of course also diseases.

That's why I present here a case.

Of a shrimp disease which can be.

Found when we bring in shrimp from certain breeders or from certain areas. And it's interesting to look at the possibilities.

Also for treatment.

I share you my screen and show you my PowerPoint so you can try.

To evaluate together with me what we.

Found in this case.

It's already case number 65 and it's.

About Neocaridina shrimp with a parasitic worm infection.

Here we see the shrimp in the.

Aquarium which hasn't any particular symptoms except some pale coloration. And the tank had a few hundred of those shrimp. You had daily mortalities. So that's why we needed a microscopic.

Examination of that little shrimp of 2cm.

And we found round worms here. We see the typical round worm here in microscopic observation, it's a kind of nematode.

And here we see it in the movie.

Here is a worm here, 2, 3, 4, 5. We found about 10 of those kind.

Of nematodes inside this little shrimp.

You can imagine, of course, that this shrimp is badly infected and will have a hard time to survive. Even when you apply treatment, it might.

Be too late for this little shrimp.

So for the treatment for this kind.

Of nematode worm infections in the shrimp.

We can conclude that the heavily infected shrimps will die because the treatment is usually too late.

And as a treatment, we can use.

Prazikanthel or other anti worm medications that.

Are safe for shrimps.

There are several ones.

Don't use any medication with skills like.

Fish lice or anchor worms because they're.

Very toxic for our shrimps.

But some were medications are very safe to use, like Prasicatel.

You can combine the medication with good.

Food and that can help the shrimp to survive better. We can Recommend to our Dr. Basler Baiju Fruit Pumpkin Seed Extract or our Dr. Basler Baiju fruit garlic. And after the treatment you can continue to use our Dr. Basler Baijfu shrimp sticks because they contain also aloe vera that helps for good repair and for protection.

So that's some of my case I.

Presented and of course more will come.
