Maverick77 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I discovered that there was a white patch on my cleaner shrimp yesterday and did a search on Internet. It is known as an isopod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick77 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 I decided to search for a remedy and found 2 or 3 videos on YouTube. It requires removing the isopod from the shrimp. So I tried it out and removed this from my cleaner shrimp. According to the video, shrimp should be OK. Let's hope mine survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Jane Posted August 20, 2021 SRC Member Share Posted August 20, 2021 I have 1 shrimp which have the same issues. but I'm having a hard time catching him, any tips on catching the shrimp out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick77 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Sorry, Jane. Just saw your post. My shrimp was greedy and loves coming towards my hand. So I managed to grab it. They seem to be attracted to food and will "attack" the food. Try a net with food in it.? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
