Hi Just an update.
I finally caught the shrimp and relocated it this past Sunday. On Tuesday I noticed something coming out of the mouth. BJD?
I did a search on R2R. One protocol I saw that sounded promising was to:
Dip in 2 cups tank water and witch hazel (or peroxide) fir 15 min.
Then 2 cups tank water and 1/3 packet furan 2 for15 min.
Then dip in 2 cups tank water and iodine for 15 min. Rinse and put back. Repeat other days if necessary.
I did not have furan2 so did the peroxide and iodine.
I did that and looked ok. Still not opening much but not expelling anything else.
Then today I saw it expel ‘brown stuff’ again.
I’m including a picture and some video.
Hope someone can confirm if it’s BJD.
I dipped in peroxide and iodine again.
Question:
1- is it bjd
2-is this a death sentence or is there an accepted protocol. I would like a protocol where I remove from the tank and dip. Don’t want to medicate my tank unless absolutely necessary.
3-any other suggestions appreciated.
