Shrimp can get sick too. Watch for signs like discoloration, lethargy, or unusual behavior. Common issues include bacterial infections, fungal problems, and parasites. For example, a white or fuzzy growth can indicate a fungal infection.

If your shrimp get sick, quarantine them and use appropriate medications. Salt baths can sometimes help with parasites, but be cautious and research thoroughly before treatment. Keeping the tank clean and stress-free helps prevent many health issues.

Regular water changes, a balanced diet, and avoiding overcrowding are key to preventing health problems in shrimp. Stable water parameters and avoiding sudden changes can also reduce stress and the risk of disease.
