Ghost Shimp video

The ghost shrimp looked from close have a very alien look. It is very interesting to glance; as it is transparent you actually can see some organs and food inside. It is always busy, eating or cleaning itself.

Thanks Scott for the comment. It is true that Ick can be cured, but certain fish like tetra neons and the clown loach are very sensitive to the malachite green that is the active ingredient in any Ick medicine. Fortunately after some water changes and taking care of the quality of this, the loach is healthy now. About two weeks later you can tell that is less shy and even more dearly, it is eating the plants now.

Take care

Armando whenever changing the water in the tank please use the salt that i mentioned in the email... it does help a lot... also please keep in mind all fish doesn't matter how big or small they are do have possiblilty of getting ick... but changing the water and cleaning the filter out regularly will combat that problem... also you need to clean the gravel like every other water change too...
