Nafe420 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hi Have around 17 yellow cherries I purchased about a month ago, was pretty happy a few days ago when one berried up. Just noticed now I have a young one that has black inside it's head, don't think it's a little saddle, pretty sure it is its internals. So has anybody else ever had this? Is it a bad sign?

SPA50 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've had a couple of yellows do this. I've also had a couple pass away. But not sure of this was a cause of it. I don't mean to alarm u at all, I'm not sure if it's linked as the black could have gone away and the dead ones could of been different shrimp.

Nafe420 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Not the best pic. Poor little guy doesnt look normal but is eating and acting just like the rest. And yea i had 18 originally but only 1 loss in 4 weeks, cant complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyfish Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 yeah i've had shrimp do this, i don't know whether its a pre-death stage they go through or a disease, but i noticed it more in yellows than any other colour, there is little known about shrimp disease. Perhaps this is normal for yellow shrimp before they die, or perhaps its a breeding thing, older males displaying a intimidation colour to other males?
