Shrimp and ich

Slot · Jan 20, 2017

These coral banded shrimp and arrow crab were caught from the ocean two days ago, do i need to quarantine for 76 days? What are the chances of them being ich or any other parasite carriers?

It is possible for them to carry tomonts on their exoskeleton; however once you see the first molt you should be good to go.

Watch out for that arrow crab, they are known fish eaters.
