ok how often should my coral banded shrimp molt? It just molted the last hour or so for the forth time since i set it up in january.. Just wondering if this was a sign of good health or bad or neither
 
normally molting is a sign of good water quality, but that is alot of molting. my fire shrimps will normally molt right after a water change. It is hard to say whether there could be a problem cause that seems accessive. but there isnt much you can do but watch.
 
alright ty for the input, the other livestock in the tank includes 5 hermit crabs and a green chromis, so the coral banded shrimp is the big kahuna in the tank, im thinking he may just be getting first dibs on all the goodies (ive only had 1 hermit crab molt once)
