Wow, I've never seen anything like that before. And I'm not sure but I don't think what you are feeding him would've caused that. Wait for some of the shell experts to comment.

[mack the knife]

are my pics to big

[Safdar]

Theyre kind of blurry

Is there white stuff of the side of his shell?
or is it just the reflection?

Take a picutre of his shell dry

[mack the knife]

no white stuff

Safdar, I see the white stuff you're talking about, but what do you think about the shape of his shell? Look at the third pic, is an arc that big normal?

[Safdar]

I doubt it, it peaks up very high near the tail

Mack the knife
you said you feed him shrimp every day?

[mack the knife]

what white stuff are you talking about? shell is hard im also feeding him zoo med reptivite vitamins on worms started to day

[mack the knife]

yes should i stop

[mack the knife]

was old to give him the worm twice a week

[untsmurf]

Mack, the white stuff we are referring to is visible in the first pic. It's the second scute up from the tail. It looks really white around the edge. If you could try and get a better, focused pic of his shell dry, we'd be able to help more.

I think the white stuff is just the reflection of the water

How many shrimp are you feeding him daily?
That is too much protien intake, Im thinking hes starting to pyramid

Also raise the water in your tank
