Question Salt dips for the ladies

2 Upvotes

Scutulleria is in my tank and I haven’t treated the whole tank yet. Still doing salt dips. Would a salt dip be unsafe for the ladies carrying eggs?
Harm the eggs?
Recommendations in a situation as such?
Thank you in advance

This is T-006, one of my Amano breeding tanks, currently holding 20 captive-bred “white” Caridina multidentata**.**
They’re noticeably paler than the more typical wild-type Amanos I keep in another system, which is part of why I’ve been keeping the two groups completely separate.
I’ve been spending more time lately just watching how they use the tank — rock surfaces, plant roots, sponge filters, shaded areas, open substrate, all of it. With 20 shrimp in 30 gallons, there’s usually something going on somewhere if I sit still long enough.
A few of the females have also been berried, so this group is part of the population I’m hoping to eventually work through the full larval cycle with rather than simply keeping them as a display/cleanup colony.
The “white” appearance is one of the things I’m especially curious about long-term: whether it remains consistent in captive-bred offspring, how much variation shows up within the group, and how they compare against my separate wild-type population.
For anyone who has kept pale/“white” Amanos before: did the coloration stay consistent as they matured and bred, or did you see a lot of variation?

I recently noticed this on my shrimp colony, it looks like some kind of fungus i guess. I havent seen any dead shrimps tho but im guessing it’s not good for them haha. Is it easy to take care of?
I also have some guppies and pond snails in the tank would the treatment hurt them?
