OMG Aquatics Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Do you remove the molts if there's too much? This week, I've found about 10 of the molted shells. It makes the tank look very ugly. Leave or take out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Aquatics Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Doesn't it look ugly though when u have so much. It takes about 4-5 days to dissolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 if you don't have enough shrimp, remove it. otherwise, shrimp would help to clean it in hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I leave them in. They don't hurt anything and provide extra nutrition countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I leave them in as well. Are these new shrimp or established? I tend to notice when I receive new shrimp they produce quite a few molts, I am assuming they are adjusting to my water parameters. Established shrimp tend to molt as they grow from my understanding.
