Argulus - the fish louse (life cycle takes between 30 – 100 days dependant on the temperature.)
Lice are one of the biggest threats to fish that you may come accross.
They are approx 5 to 10mm in size and can clearly be seen with the naked eye.
The biggest danger from these parasites is from secondary infection such as; fungus, bacterial or internal problems.

To deal with this problem, phisically remove the lice with tweezers and treat the fish with an organophosphate chemical based medication (a treatment designed to kill lice) but like sarah says, I suspect this would be harmful to shrimp and you should find a treatment that suits your fish. If you treat the fish three times over the parasites life cycle you will, almost always, eliminate the lice.
 
Thanks i will be try and revert back soon
