Ich and flukes usually start from fish gills. You can't see the other symptoms at that early stage. I would start treatment ASAP.

Try and let the cleaner control it, he will enforce cleanliness in his tank ahaha, trust me, if i even so much as stick my hand in the tank with a hang nail he will try and jump on me to rip it off haha.

Soak food in garlic and try and keep your hands out of the tank.

A cleaner shrimp is'nt going to fix your problems. Read and follow Wayne's advice.
