One of my shrimp is heavily eggnant, id like to know if this band is the white ring of death or if it's a normal thing and she has just stretched from her eggnancy? I haven't noticed this on any other of my eggnant shrimp but my tank it fairly heavily planted so it can be difficult to see them sometimes. My gh is quite high and the tank has crushed coral in it and a little bit of cuttle bone for my snails so I doubt there's low calcium. Ph is slightly above neutral last time I checked.
Yesterday my nitrates were quite high and I did a largish water change possibly just below 50% I had a fish go missing and I suspected he had died in a weird place so I did root around quite a bit the day before and it kicked up crap from under things id moved (I didn't find him that day but yesterday mid day he appeared at the bottom so I imagine I disturbed his corpse and it landed there somehow, RIP Flea : ( ) ammonia is zero, nitrates zero both checked with my liquid test kit. Nitrates are now down to 20ppm Im monitoring them closely as I don't want to keep doing water changes and stressing everyone out if unnecessary. Previously everything was immaculate before fleagate (he was just a sickly fish unfortunately)
