Hi all,
New to the forum but I could use some expert help with some new shrimp I recently bought.
The tank just has shrimp and bladder snails in it. I ordered two shipments of shrimp about one month apart. Both blue dream velvet shrimp from the same dealer.
The second shipment I could see parasites on the shrimp (received a refund). The shrimp had white worms wiggling on their head plus one is covered in almost a fungus looking stuff. I now realize that that same fungus looking stuff is on the tank glass from the first shipment of shrimps (half of those ended up dying and the rest are pale).
The sellers recommended I treat the whole tank with API general cure. However, today is the third day in the medicine and I still see shrimp with both types of things on them and the treatment is suppose to be done tomorrow.
Should I try a different medicine/medicines?
Water parameters:
Ammonia/netrite: 0
Nitrate: about 10
Ph: 7.4
Kh: 7
Gh: 6
Water temperature: 75°F
10 gallon tank with aquarium co-op sponge filer and driftwood, live plants, and bladder snails.
