Ich & Cleaner Shrimp Up Close and Personal (PICS)

[amahler]

Well, I posted a lot of shots last night of our cleaner shrimp doing his thing. I've also posted a lot of shots of my seemingly healthy and gorgeous new Imperator.

Tonight I get to post even sharper shots of our cleaner shrimp working overtime on the now ich-ridden Imperator. From perfectly healthy (appearing) to covered in Ich in less than 24 hours... all the while eating well and even starting to hand feed tonight after only four days in the tank.

<sigh>

Ah well - maybe the pictures will be useful for those wondering what ich looks like up close.

Enjoy... I'm trying to but failing to find the positive in this one...

Awesome pics - there's your positive! How much will that shrimp actually help, I wonder. . .

Icky ich. :|
