3 shrimp, 3 molts, 1 day

Post by cinnamon »

It's been almost two weeks since I moved three shrimp from an EcoSphere to a two-gallon tank, and all three molted today (one this morning and two this evening)! Isn't that crazy? Here are some pictures - the "shrimp ghosts" are very cool-looking but also make my skin crawl a little bit, lol. I'm hoping this is a good sign that means they're growing in their new home.

I would say it's _very_ good news! Molting means they are growing, which means they are getting their nutrients as well as feeling comfortable in their new environment. I personally think the molts are really cool, and it's crazy that they all happened in the same day. Congratulations!

They have finally enough to munch on, so they are digging in...which causes growth. Awesome! :)
