shrimp molting

[wilmonkey5]

is it normal for a skunk cleaner shrimp to molt 1 a week?
because mine likes to and i thought it was kinda odd...

That is unusual but there is no set time frame for shrimp or any other crustacean to do so. Lets just hope that it is a good sign that the shrimp is just experiencing very healthy (quick) growth.

Are you ading Iodine? I have noticed Iodine can trigger a molt.
