Worm on the glass is deffo not a planarian or detritus worm, i've had those both before. Really sorry about the photo situation, ill try and get some but i only have my phone camera so

Where the carapace meets the first segment, they're up in there (inside), and vertically attached?? they're difficult to see they just kinda look white

Are you sure? My tank also has snails (MTS and nerite), CPDs and Otocinclus as well as may different plant species

from this website, it looks like Holtodrilus Truncates are the culprit. I think my only option is to give the shrimp salt baths which will be difficult as they're had to catch in my tank.

They're so small, I don't really have a camera good enough to pick them up

I've been having some problems with my cherry shrimp. They seem to keep dying and the female's eggs are going bad. At first, I thought it was fungi but now I think it's probably parasites. I saw a male with what looked like 2 white stripes inside his thorax. And today I saw a worm on the glass...

I use the Tetra test strips, one strip for NO3, NO2, GH, KH, pH, CL2, and a separate one for ammonia. As I mentioned, I've been adding Interpet Anti-fungus to the tank, it hasn't worked so far. Sorry, could you say what IALs are haha? not seen that abbreviation yet.

See OG post for tank parameters (Tanks is probs about 4 years old). I have java moss, java fern, bucephalandra red & biblis, hydrocotyle tripartita, alternanthera reineckii, rotala h'ra, duckweed, dwarf water lettuce. I use organic soil capped with 2 inches of sand.I have a lot of spider wood...

My first generation of cherry shrimp have recently become berried and are ready to hatch the second generation. Seeing as I started with only 4 founders, I'm really happy about it. I've kept them for around seven months now without issue but only now I'm getting some shrimp death. Here's what...
