Shrimp Molting

How often do your peppermint shrimp molt? I've had mine 3 weeks and it has molted at least twice that I have noticed. Is this normal or is a stress thing or something?

it is normal & sometimes can mean that the shrimp is healthy & happy...you should have few more peppermints in there w/ it thought if budget allows...eventually they will spawn in your tank & add renewable livee food for your tank...you might get to catch a glimps of the live spawn if you learn when they molt; that is when they release their spawn...usually sometime after lights out

Mine hides constantly. I rarely ever see it come out. Does it come out and do it's thing at nighttime? I actually added 2 at a time 3 weeks ago. I haven't seen but one since the second day. No sign of the other one at all.
