Shrimp

[wts684]

How many times can shrimp remove their skin? My shrimp has removed their skin 3 times in one month. It glows from about 0.6" to more than 1" (body only) now. Will the large shrimp hurt the fish if they glow bigger?

No it will not harm your fish but more worried being eaten by fishes like lions, triggers, large wrasses etc. It moults about once in every 2 weeks.

molting is good for the shrimp...this means that ur shrimps r growing.

Yea, if your shrimp is molting often and properly it shows that it is healthy.
