Shrimps keep dying after adding a top layer of aqua soil. I see some white worms in the aquarium too!
I have been maintaining this shrimp tank for close to two years now and recently decided to top the soil layer with aqua soil for better plant health. I knew this would disturb the balance and might result in a few deaths. However I have lost as many as 15 shrimps out of 20-22 shrimps I had. I also replaced 20-30% water the next day Incase there was excess nutrients in it. But shrimps kept dying. I started to watch closely and saw this white worms floating around the aquarium. They are in single digits yet I saw one on this sick shrimps antenna (video). Please help if this is some sort of an infestation that I need to worry about and what could be the easy solution for it?
