Claudiohv Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 The cray is in a quarantine tank, treating with kusuri wormer plus and salt baths because I found , what I believe is, scuteriela japonica in it. He has a crazy appetite though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Looks like a Procambarus Marmorkrebs .....self cloning crayfish. If it is you will know in about 30 to 45 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charis Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Can you tell me more about that parasite? I tried Googling it and I didn't get any hits. I'd love to learn more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudiohv Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Mmmm charis all I know is: Tiny little white worm found in shrimp head (rostrum?), but I fact can be all over the body, like all over. I know, by experience, they hate fresh water aquarium salt, I'm doing a few baths as we speak, you can see the parasite trying to escape the host. So long story short after a few of these baths he should be pretty clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charis Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Nice. I guess the AQ salt doesn't have any negative impact on the crayfish? How long are your baths and at what concentration is the salt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I see Scutariella japonica commonly with neo's from larger farms / exporters - for the most part they are fairly harmless but good idea to drip any infected individuals.I don't really have a set ratio, I usually tablespoons of aquarium salt inside one of my medium breeder boxes and dip them for around 5-10 seconds. Usually one dip is all it takes. For more sensitive species you can dip them for shorter periods but do it multiple times and put the shrimp / crayfish inside the tank for a few minutes in between dips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
