Aquarium Advice Regular
So here is the deal.
I recently added two Japanese algae eating shrimp to my 5-gallon. There was voss, 1 cherry shrimp, an oto and one assassin snail in there was well.
After adding them I realized how much crap was stuck in the back of my planted tank so I used a "turkey baster" device meant for aquariums to stir it up and suck it out with my gravel-vac. I did a 50% water change with the same type of spring water and water parameters were the same (within 95%) of what they normally are which are good. This afternoon we saw him like THIS. I hope he doesn't lose an eye!
Anyway any other advice is appreciated.
I isolated him and will do 100% water changes in his cup. I added betta revive, mela-fix and some aquarium salt (going to buy some epsom salt tonight) these are my go-to remedies.
Let me know if other items would work.
Poor little fella...

when I was dosing his medicine and changing the water in his cup daily. I would put him in a net for a few moments and he kept flopping around in it...so I assume that is his eye hanging from where he had a cut...correct? Where his eye skin is, the black part is foggy and looks different from the other one. That is why I am wondering if that is what is hanging from his face is the internal part of his eye that is normally kept underneath the foggy black skin part. But it came through the cut.
