Molting

[Mish]

Does anyone know how often a peppermint shrimp molts? Just need a baseline idea, or a good guess.

It depends on how healthy your system is. Once a month seems to be average.

 

[Mish]

Thanks, mine has done that. It just seemed like a lot to me.

Same here, about once a month, or maybe 3 weeks.
If you're dosing iodine you may want to be careful.
Excesive molting can be a problem

 

[Mish]

That was my concern, but I don't dose but once a month if that, and I do test when I have the extra time. I have heard that the tests are not all that acurate.
