For about 6 months or so, we've had a pair of cleaner shrimp, "Inky" and "Stinky". Always gregarious, always looking for customers at their cleaning station, always looking to steal food. Every 2-3 weeks one or the other would molt, apparently at night, but was back on station the next day.
Two weeks ago, there was a molt in the tank, but Inky was no where to be found. Could he have had a bad molt?
I've read you folks talk about "bad molts" but don't know exactly what you mean.
Stinky is at the cleaning station (under the monti) maybe half the time now, the rest of the time she is in the rock (poor thing).
Both of them had grown rather large, maybe 2 1/2" long. Would it be advisable to get Stinky a new playmate even though the new guy would be 1/2-2/3 her size? If so, I guess the new guy would be named "Dinky" for being so small.
Thanks in advance.
