You have to give them time to get used to each other. It took about 3 months for my male to start breeding with my females.

It is a camallanus worm...there are many threads on here about them...I have used levamisole to successfully treat but it is a process.

My guppies are usually so big that its really hard to tell if they are squared. I have noticed that their gravid spot will go from black to a lighter color a day or two before thay drop.

If its the powdered levamisole from mr ink you actually treat the water. It treats everything in the water as well (decorations, substrate, filter, etc.)

If any of the fish have ever been together or you used any of the same equipment (gravel vac, net, etc...) then they could be passed to the other tanks. I would definitely treat the other tanks.

I dosed the water...before I went with levamisole I tried fenbendazole food, and prazi and none worked. But as soon as I used the levamisole it worked right away.

Looks like camallanus. If you search you can find a few (mine included) discussions about it. You can get levamisole through mr. Ink. There is a link on my thread (sorry I dont k ow how to attach it on here) I was able to order some and did the recomended treatment and havent had the little...
None taken at all...I read the link posted earlier and it really sounds like the muscle necrosis, been checking daily to see if it died but more than 30days later its still kicking.

Its in a 20g tall with about 6 other ghost shrimp 4 guppies, a 1 1/2" bn pleco, and 6 platys. It has been this way since I got it about 2 months ago. Still very active and eating well.

UPDATE: So she is still turning white...it is not spreading to my other shrimp so I am leaning towards "muscle necrosis" she is still eating well and is very active. You can see how dark she is next to my other shrimp.
