Default Does Anyone Have A Clip Of Shrimp Molting?
I've had cherry shrimps before but I never actually encounter one in the process of molting. EVER. I heard its very quick.

Does anyone have a clip or have seen a clip of a RCS, CRS, or similar shrimps molting?

Would be interested to watch such a clip.

LOL that was awesome man.

I've ALWAYS wanted to see that. I've had over 150 cherry shrimps before and I've NEVER EVER caught any of them molting

That's a challenge to all shrimp keepers. Get a video clip of your shrimp during a molt.

Same here I always seem to miss the molts after every water change. I have a 125g planted shrimp tank only. Some time I will sit in front of the tanks for almost an hour after the water change and as soon as I get up to get something to drink, eat, bio break, turn on the TV ect... I come back and find empty skins in the moss or floating around

Man that was cool. Every time I see my shrimp molt it looks as if they are convulsing. It just happens so fast. What a cool vid!

Wow I just saw one of my CRS molt just a couple minutes ago Maybe I'll sit in front of my tank with a camera after a water change to catch one on video
