My crayfish is unfortunately suffering from shell rot. I have been vacuuming out the substrate to keep it clean, doing frequent water changes, and dropping him in a salt bath every few days, but they don't seem to be doing much. The shell rot appears to be on his maxillae so I suspect he's been unable to eat and is weak from hunger.
Does anybody have any solutions for this? Should I quarantine him in a small, gravel-free tank? And any kind of extra-easy food for him to munch on? I have been feeding him frozen blood worms and brine shrimp, but the past few weeks he just eats a few and gives up D:
pH is 7.5, 10 gallons, a few plants, no fish. Just one lonely craw.
