Does shrimp dir after they change their shell.

Hi All

I hv rear a batch of yamoto shrimp. But I notice that they die upon changing their shell. Is it common for them to die n lie motionlessly at the bottom of the tank once they change their shell?

mine also happens like that, molt then die, some did not. i assume those die are those weaker ones....... as water condition not that good...

I regret to inform you that it is not common. Something is not right with your water conditions

Yup, Bro Navanod is right.

I used to have 10 yamatos and none died after molting.

maybe they are not finished with the molting process bro. Shrimps dont die if they molt. cheers

i agree, my shrimp just changed their shells and are still alive after 2 days
