A warning about one LFS in Chicago city
I visited "Ocean Design" store today - it is in Chicago,
at Irving Park Rd. I have seen $24 cleaner shrimps with common black spot disease - all were infested with it! The same symptoms mine shrimp died from a couple weeks ago. Also, in the corals tank: thousands of quite big flatworms crawling on glass, rocks, corals, sand - everywhere. Nasty stuff. Be very careful buying anything live from this store!

Thanks for the heads up.
Can this "Black Spot Disease" effect fish? Is there another name for it? TIA ~Mort "Pszemol" wrote in message ... I visited "Ocean Design" store today - it is in Chicago, at Irving Park Rd.

A warning about one LFS in Chicago city
No idea... but there were many pictures on Reefcentral...
Dr Ron Shimek says this is some form of fungus infesting many ornamental/commercial shrimps with no cure at the moment. It is not clear why my other shrimps did not catch the disease - probably there are similar symptoms for many different stuff out there... Anyway - I purchased from this store tuxedo urchin before my shrimp died - not sure if the fungus on my shrimp is from this one store or not, maybe totaly unrealted, but I saw many sick shrimps there plus flatworms and I will think twice before I buy anything live from them again...
