moez Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hey guysI have 3 red shrimps in my 2ft with some bristlenose. I have noticing a white empty shell of a shrimp even with the legs and everything lying on the floor. I though it was a dead shrimp, but it can't be, because I only have 3 and there were about 2 shells. And the 3 are ok. They are 1 to 1 cmCan anyone explain this.???

LithoMan Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 yes they moltlike a snake they get to big for there shell so at night they drop there shell and gain a new one in a few hours..they do it at night so they dont get eaten and by morning the shell is nice and hard.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillsysyd Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Leave the shells in there, they normally consumer them for nutriets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
