Hi everyone. My poor Little Rock shrimp started molting a couple of days ago and seemed not to be able to release the old shell from his front antennae and “feathers”. Today he finally got it off but is deformed (broken antennae and stumps in front). What could cause this? Could I be doing something different? I feel horrible for him. IMG_4539.jpgIMG_4539.jpg
