Molt!

I thought these molts were super cool since they were still attached to the lava rock and together :-D

Cool picture! You are so lucky to see a molt 8) I have had a tank for seven years, though until recently a small one, and have never seen a molt .......

I've seen quite a few molts and have even observed 2 shrimp in the act of doing it. I haven't seen a molt now though for about 3 months. I think because there are now so many shrimp, the molts get immediately consumed.

@attygirl: Thank you!!! And oh wow, that is a very long time! I’ve only had them in their tank for two days at the time of the photo :shock: Maybe like dch48 they were eaten ASAP?

@dch48: Yeah it’s really neat! I went to go look at them like 6 hours later and they were both gone already haha
