White Ring Of Death

[Slaphppy7]

This is a classic example of the "WROD" in Neocaridina shrimp...first time I've experienced it in the 9+ years I've kept them...poor girl...they sometimes recover, but usually not...rest of the shrimp in the tank are fine, and breeding well, as are all of my other shrimp in the other tanks

have you tried salt?
2 heaped tablespoons per 20 litres of water. keep salt in tank for 3-4 weeks.

Not worth the effort, in a 40G breeder, with dozens of fish, and lots of otherwise healthy shrimp

I just let Nature take it's course, in situations like this...given the tank size, and the potential to stress lots of fish...not worth the effort
