    Should be fine if the fish is doing well. If there is mould like thingy start becoming bigger by the day.. it is fugus.

    change 20 % of water for 2 to 3 days so be cure. water condition turn bad due to your shrimps. Is there is dead shrimps must remove, if not worse.
    Treat your fishes like your baby. The sign and symptom is the same but cannot talk.
    Go nature
