Hello, one of my adult ghost shrimp is not looking good. Pics:
See below for Problems description.
Background:
The shrimp tank (5.5g) is a few months old but established with the help of my other tank, it’s mostly ghost shrimp and one red cherry shrimp (planning on getting more). Also a zebra nerite snail and a bunch of baby assassin snails. It has an Aquaclear 30 and a sponge filter.
pH is 7.0-7.2, Ammonia is 0, Nitrite is 0.
I change the water every 1-3 weeks and change a fair amount of it (40%). I get my water directly from the LFS but I add Prime anyways, and I also use StressGuard and Flourish (asked the vet about Flourish it’s okay IF the right dosing is used).
I’ve noticed my shrimp have been less active recently.
Problems:
One of the shrimp is opaque and no longer see-through.
It has two white dots on its body, one is shown, the other is symmetric with this dot.
It is laying and swimming sideways and can’t seem to swim straight.
It hasn’t been swimming much at all except I see it’s swimmerets moving a lot, but besides that it mainly stays in one place.
I separated it from the shrimp tank in case it has something contagious (does this sound contagious? Should I treat the shrimp tank too preventatively?).
Honestly I think the sick shrimp is on its deathbed but I want to help it in case there is a chance of survival. Thanks in advance :(
