Just found your channel and i love how you speak fluently as a aquatic biologist with decades of experience and go into indepth detail. This is an amazing reason why when ordering shrimp for a already established tank to quarintine the new shrimp and treat from there. I haven't had any pest since I set my tanks up 2 years ago and treated my original colony with LCA planaria fix since it was a dirted tank so planaria were a good possibility. now all plants and shrimp coming in get to hang out in a empty 10gallon planted tank thats always dosed with shrimp safe ferts by LCA and LCA planaria fix.
I’m so happy I found this video my shrimp were sick with scut and I was using seachem paraguard but funny enough I had bought no planaria too and I had it lying around
Hey thanks so much for this video. I don't know what it is, but I'm just in love with shrimp. Fish are great, but shrimp are just so adorable and cute. I want to take the best care of my boys.
Thank you so much for this beautiful and concise video! I just found these on my wee guys this evening, I’ve already ordered the salt! I feel confident in dipping them as I do also have nerite snails that I care for very much. Now…how does one most easily catch the shrimp? 😅
it's disappointing to see that there's like no way to eradicate the eggs, i know these are mostly harmless to shrimp but having to catch all these guys in very heavily planted tanks just to salt them is not fun when i just want to sit back and watch them 😮💨 but this was a really good informative video about scutariella, thanks!
Sorry for the late response! That’s a tough one. I don’t at the moment to be honest as I just don’t have the space, and as I’m not selling shrimp yet I’m not super cautious about anything affecting the colony - if it does, I have the time to just treat it. If I was selling, yes I would definitely quarantine.
Yyyes, technically. But that would also kill off all the other wormy life in the tank, and probably the plants as well in the long run. Dips are more time consuming but safer :)
You can quarantaine them. Dipping alone doesnt also only remove the adult Scutellaria, the eggs will remain under the gillplate. Therefore it is important to remove molts as well, as this is also the way the parasite spreads from one shrimp to the next. So you can quarantaine them, and dip them every other day for about a month, removing all the molts and then you hopefully are fine. Or you quarantaine them and use the chemicals on the quarantaine tank.
Hello! I'm very late, but I thought I would chip in on this one. I don't actually remove moults as even the tiniest baby shrimp can be infected with scutellaria and you will never find their moults in anything but a completely bare tank, so that feels like a bit of a pointless battle to me, but it depends on your situation. Instead I rely on dips. I may never get rid scuts completely, but their numbers are staying nice and low.

Great video and nice channel! You’ve got yourself a new sub 😁👍
Excellent!
That was brilliant 👌

Do you normally taste your salted tank water?!
Do you think it is wise to treat incoming shrimp in a quarantine tank prior to adding to a display tank?

@@tinymenagerie Thank you.
What if I feed the infected shrimp? Would it be dangerous to that fish say a catfish?
I’ve used no planaria and didn’t have issues with killing my snails or limpets
Would raising the salinity in the home aquarium for a period of time, like when treating ick, work?
Must not have watched the video she went over it
@@hph1488 A squirrel must have run by during that part 😂

Could you dip each new shrimp before introducing it?

Maybe watch the video. It was talked about
@@ucallmeschnitzel thanks for explaining!😊
@@hph1488 I did watch it, but I guess I missed that part, the other commenter was kind enough to explain it

Nice filming Lauren
