| Re: My shrimp was dead Deb, The molting process is very stressful for the shrimp, sometimes they just die in the process, or something else could have botherd it in the middle of its molt. They require proper amounts of iodine (which should be fine, if your doing water changes at least bi-weekly) sorry to hear about the loss |
