Fire shrimp molting

[missnano]

So my fire shrimp as molted twice in the last 3 weeks, is that normal?

 

[florida joe]

are you adding iodine to your tank

 

[missnano]

No i have not added any idoine in my tank. I was advised not to.

 

[florida joe]

is he a small fire shrimp if so he may be growing quickly hence the rapid molts if not IMO that an unusually short period of time for 2 molts

 

[mrdc]

I agree if iodide isn't being used. I rarely see molts.

 

[btldreef]

It really depends on the size of the shrimp.
The next thing is, how often do you do water changes?

Who remembers their first molt and said DAMN the shrimp already died?!?!
