My new Supertiger seem to have a bacterial problem. Today I have found another shrimp dead in my tank (#3) and decided to react now with only 7 not so well looking shrimps left.
That’s why I set up a 20L quarantaine tank with fresh water and 1 tab dissolved JBL Furanol (dosage as recommended). The active agent inside this drug is nifurpirinol. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against most common harmfull bacteria. I will leave the shrimps for 4 days in the small tank and make a water change on monday.
Besides, I have cleaned my big tank I have originally set up for the Supertiger and did a 80% water change. Two rough amano shrimps (Caridina multidentata) called Lolek & Bolek are still inside and seemed to enjoy fresh water.
After three years of shrimp keeping I have the impression that Tiger shrimp varieties are more sensible to undesired bacteria than others.
