I think this game tries to give me more stuff every time I take a break

One of my Sterbai has a little white bump on his nose? Is this something I should worry about? It looks like its either an abrasion or a fungus its hard to tell. Hes swimming normally and seems pretty healthy still but im checking with reddit haha.

Long story short I bought a bunch of cherry shrimp a few months ago for my 30 gallon and I thought they were dead but turns out at least 3 of them survived and im building a shrimp tank for them and some new shrimp that I got. This is one of my older shrimps from from the old tank (I havent caught the other ones yet, its a process trying to find them). Is the pregnant?

I just want to know if anyone has theories as to where my other shrimp are or why this guy has survived. For reference this is a 29 gal with 7 corys, 7 bloodfin tetras, and 6 Otto. Nothing in here should really predate on adult shrimp to my knowledge so I dont know where they all went. I thought maybe they all died or got eaten by the corys since I heard they sometimes eat shrimp fry but ive been told they shouldnt eat adult shrimp. No udea why this guy is still kicking weeks later either. And I havent found any bodies likely cause of all the bottom feeders so im stumped.

Is this just new tank shyness?

New cory owner here. Its only been a few days. I have sterbai and they are extremely skittish when im around. I see them seemingly searching the substrate for food all the time but I seldom see them really go after the bottom feeder pellets I throw in. I've been leaving them in and hoping that they will scavenge for them later which I think they are doing? im wondering if they will eventually get comfortable enough to associate me with food cause they mostly hide when im around and don't seem to want what im feeding them..
