    Also im not too worried, Because IF he had the parasite he'd have a lump which he does not, in that case the parasite could possibly just be a male (males you cant see on the shrimp) or a not fully matured female (which i would notice if a bump starts to appear). So therefor if i see a lump tank it out, and if there was a male parasite in the shrimp, I dont have to worry about it reproducing

    My shrimp is doing well. The only complaint I have is that he tries to turn my snails over. Anyone else have that problem.
