Cleaner shrimp

[orangespot]

My Cleaner seems to be happy taking care of his tank mates. I am worried about him though. Do I need to add anything to the water to help him molt or will nature takes its course. He has been in the tank for three weeks and is very active so I just want to make sure I doing all I can. Thanks.

I know one of the requirements for them is the proper level of calcium.

I'm not sure what they would use Calcium for since they have no bones, but I suppose it could be a requirement.
Proper nutrition and pristine water is all mine ever get and they seem to do great.

i've read that proper iodine levels are needed for molting, but i think with regular water changes that you wouldn't even need to worry about supplementing. if you really wanna know you could always buy an iodine test kit, i wouldn't add iodine unless you are capable of testing for it.

Thanks for the advice. I will just make sure I keep up with the water changes.
