Initially thought it was just picky and shy, since it only takes earthworms and occasionally raw shrimps, and its tank mates are greedy, but recently the sunken belly seems worsened, especially given I just fed them the day before. Could it be internal parasites? I tried to soak the shrimp with API general cure, but it would just spit out. Can you share your opinion if it is internal parasites? Do I have other opinions than treating the entire tank? I have 3 other Orinoco, 1 JD and 1 convict, all within 4-6’’ in a 75 grow out. Photos were taken during a WC hence they were cornered together. Thanks for the input.
