My boyfriend bought shrimp today that was already steamed and then cooled and packaged at the Grocery store in the refrigerated section of the seafood dept. I am now wondering how to heat and use this shrimp as I have only ever used raw shrimp.
P.S. This shrimp is not frozen. It is packaged like fresh hambuger or chicken would be and is sitting in the fridge. It has simply been steamed already.
I had three lemon tetras in a recently cycled tank. My readings all looked great, so, a week ago, I added five blue tetras. Instant Ich in three of the five blues. So I slowly turned up the heat and added salt, which has killed my plants, but the fish seem to be doing well. No more new cases of Ich; only one fish still has the spots. I would really rather not use medications if I can avoid it, as I keep freshwater shrimp. (I hadn’t added them to this tank yet because it had finished cycling too recently, but I would like to down the road.)
When I discovered the ich in the tank, I immediately got paranoid and turned to the tank I had seeded it from. I was sure I saw a couple of white spots, so I turned up the heat and started adding salt. The next morning I couldn’t find more than one fish with even the possibility of a spot. So I am not at all certain that there is ich in the second tank, but I am not sure how to determine if the tank is infected after all.
Question should read : Heat and Salt, but it won’t let me edit it for some reason
