Cleaner Shrimp Molting Question

[MsBeanCtr]

My cleaner shrimp molted again last night. He seems to be happy enough....but I was wondering if it's normal for him to molt every 2 to 3 weeks (like he has been)?

Thank you!

I have read quite a few posts that they molt about every 2-3 weeks when first introduced to a tank. Mine also did this. After a while, it should happen about once a month.

Very normal to molt that much. When they get older (1+ year) they usually slow down to about 1 a month.

Most of mine seem to molt about that often too... every 3 weeks or there abouts.

My lobster molts every moth. My blood shrimp I have never seen a molt but I` m sure he does as I`ve had him for 5 yrs now.

I'm sure he has molted, the clean up crew probably likes the taste of fire shrimp molt! LOL!
