Andryk Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 My blue Neocaridina have a molting problem. The exo sceleton is stuck on its legs. I read that water GH is too high in that case. Is my water parameter OK? And to I need to add some minerals more to RO water besides GH/KH+? I use Salty Shrimp GH/KH+ and RO water Aquarium 20L temp 25 C TDS 290 ppm GH 8 NO3 0ppm NO2 0ppm NH4 0ppm Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. F Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 GH is okay, but at the high end which can cause hardening of the shell and molting issues. Probably not that tho because you're in range. What is your KH and pH? These can be a factor in shrimp mortality after molting.

Andryk Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 KH 3 pH 6,9-7,0 Shrimp was alive in morning and I was able to relese it from exo sceleton under mikroscope. The problem was in situation that shrimp wasn't able to jump out of exo sceleton all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
