Hey guys. I did a search on Shrimp Molting and found some good info. Still unsure about my shrimp and wanted to see if anyone has experienced this.

2 Shrimps and 1 molted. Hes been in hiding for the last few days. When I feed he does not come out and I dont see him eat. The other shrimp has been scurrying around the tank scraping up what he can get. I feed teh animal 2 time a day once in morning once in evening.

I searched google and came up with some stuff. They like to mate after molting and the first one to molt sometimes becomes the female. Maybe thats why he/she is hiding.

All my Params seem fine. I test water every day as I am sort of new to this making sure I dont miss anything. water changes once a week and temps range between 78-82. I have a Aquapod 24 with 1 damsel and one chromis, 3 snails, 2 tiny crabs.

Hope the little feller is alright.

Most shrimp like to hide under rocks for protection and is perfectly normal, but often certain type of shrimp like skunk cleaner shrimp will come out more and more as they get used to their surroundings. I wouldn't worry about it if you feel you have good water quality and do water changes fairly regularily.
