2.5 gallon Nano

[skysmom]

Yes, my Nano is 2.5 gallons. We have a snail, 3 SMALL hermit crabs, and an orphaned skunk shrimp. I know, that seems like a lot in there, and we are aware of that. I am not 100% sure what kinds of hermits we have, 2 were caught in the ocean and brought home for my daughter by a family friend, and the other we bought, it's red...the other 2 are tanish brown. The snail we bought too, but again, we aren't sure what kind of snail it is , they just told us it was reef safe. We are not putting anything else in there till we do get a bigger set-up. :happy:
The shrimp came from a person whose tank broke, and they gave all the livestock they had to someone else. After those ppl left with the critters, they found the shrimp that they thought they had lost weeks before. So, we took him because of the tank being broke and leaking. He's doing well, has molted twice since we have had him (about a month)
Which leads to a question...how many times DO they molt? I mean, at what intervals? It seems he just molted about 2 weeks ago... :help:
Thanks!
:happy:

They molt 1 or twice a month.

Not to hijack this thread but I have a CBS that just molted and I was wondering if I should remove the skin or just leave it in there for the clean up crew?

The cleanup crew will eat it. But you dont have to leave it in there if you dont want to.
