Red spots at Shining Yellow shrimps - Disease?

Post by Vilena »

Hi all :)
I am new here and first of all, I would like to thank all the members for this good site. Keep the good work! :)

Now,let me introduce you to my problem. Recently, I got some "Shining Yellow" shrimps, around 35 of them, and when they came, a dozen of them had these red spots somewhere on the body (each specimen had one spot), some on the tail, some close to the eye..and a lot of them died within few days..now I have only 2 of them left, one of them is a large female full with eggs, and I would be very sad to lose her.

Does anyone have an idea whether this could be a disease, and how to cure it if it is? Can it be contagious ? I am worried ...

Thank You
Mustafa

Without pictures it's hard to say what the problem is, or what shrimp you even have.
