Does this look like a bacterial infection?

I honestly can't remember if this shrimp has always looked this way.

Not sure. I don't have any experience with a bad molt. I've only been keeping shrimp for about 8 months now.

GH is 8. So far they have all been molting ok. (As far as I know)

That's exoskeleton related, not internal (bacterial)

TDS is 280. I think I have noticed this before with this particular shrimp.

Can it molt with this condition?
