I got a skunk cleaner shrimp from the LFS about a month ago. He molted once after about two weeks, and he’s already molted again last night. From what I’ve read it said that they should only be molting about once a month. But I also read that younger shrimp can molt a lot more often.
So I guess I am trying to figure out a few things here. First off, are these shrimp generally “young” when sold? Could this just be the fact the shrimp is young and two molts in a month isn’t anything to worry about?
Or, is there something off in the tank that’s causing him to molt more often than he should be? Everything else in the tank is flourishing and just fine...
