My cleaner shrimp has black markings all over his body. Could it be black ich?
He isn't coming out of his area anymore when I come close to the tank. He used to go to wherever I was looking. I noticed it for the first time this morning.
I have a 10 gallon nano with LR, LS, Xenia, Kenya Tree, Peach Monti Digi, Bali Green Slimer, about 10 nassarius snails, 4 astreae snails, an emerald crab, and 10 dwarf blue legged hermit crabs. The tank is only a few months old.
I am feeding non medicated anti parasitic spectrum thera +A fish formula. Yesterday I added Kent Marine Coral-Vite.
I have had the cleaner shrimp since the very beginning of May. I added 6 hermit crabs yesterday, the Slimer and Digi on Friday, the Xenia and Kenya tree on Wednesday, and the nassarius snails last Friday (5/23) None of them were put in a quarantine tank, and I don't have one set up. I have an empty 5 gallon tank in the shed I could use.
Paramters:
Salinity 1.025
pH 8.3
Nitrates 5
Nitrites 0
Ammonia 0
I have a couple of blurry pictures. He wont stay out of the rock long enough for me to get a good one. But you can still see the black marks.
I also started noticing little white spots on one side of the tank. I didn't think anything of it cause in our other tank it turned out to be baby snails.
Help please!
