Shedding cleaner Shrimp


Thane

Recommended Posts

Last Friday I bought a cleaner, people have rated them so high... very cool to watch, mines a nut, but back to my question. I got home yesterday from work and there alas, he was dead... one of the dancing shrimp had found his body and was enjoying it, then I had a closer look and noticed that it was only his "skin". Well, I was really pleased about that. But since the shed, she's very lethargic and I was wondering if this is normal. One of the dancing shrimp has also shed since then, and it's difficult to tell which one it is. I'm new at the invert thing, any advice would be great. Thanks, you guys are a great help.

Yeah there tricky like that. Molting is normal for them. They will usually hide until their new shell hardens.

 

I have heard that iodine is important in the molting process and if it gets too low they can die.

 

Your weekly water changes will replenish it though so you don't have to worrie about doseing it.
