I have 3 ghost shrimp. One is clear, two are opaque. The one that is clear was in a container for observation and was added later.
I am wondering if there was a period where I didn't dose enough iodine for the two opaque ones prior to adding the third shrimp. I must be currently adding enough iodine because the clear one must be moulting regularly (I am assuming as he stays clear).
Now I'm kinda worried about the opaque ones. I'm wondering if they'll be able to molt or if their shell is too thick? They seem a little stiffer and slower than the clear one. But I think they're all around the same age. I bought them at the same time and they were very small. So it wouldn't be old age.
Can ghost shrimp get "stuck" like this (unable to molt because their shell gets too thick from lack of molting)?
Update:
Or perhaps the gH is too high for them at 14deg...?
