Shrimps

[ARAJEA]

If you have a gimp shrimp, will it grow the leg back?

 

[fishguy242]

hi,yes normally do :)

About how long does that take? If a scale of 1 to 10 is never at 1 and tomorrow at 10?

Usually after it molts the leg comes back. Mine took about 3 weeks?

1st molt usually almost full size limb,next molt will be full,time???

Yeah 1st molt was about 1/2-2/3 of the leg back. Took like 5 weeks for complete regeneration but my shrimp used the stumpy leg for a while

You bought those fire shrimps?! I thought about it but pre pandemic they were only $20 a piece from my lfs, I couldn’t handle the price tag for a ‘bonded pair’!

I wanted them.... Stop judging.

I wanted them really bad!! Been looking for some since March but they’re out of stock or like $50 everywhere and the cheapskate in me just can’t justify that price. I do add at least 1 to all of my tanks and trained them all to ride around on my arm and eat from my hand. 10/10 my favorite in the aquarium every time and a must have for me in all my tanks. Make sure you give them iodine so they can molt properly!

I think everything grows back except the eyes
