    Cherry shrimp dying while molting...

    I did split up my daylight time however because of too much lighting, 10+ hrs a day to 9 now. Ihave timer set for 4.5 hrs in morning, 4 hrs off, and 4.5 in evening. I dose co2 in am and pm at beginning of lighting periods and it is mostly diffused from my reactor by lights out.

    Yeah, one was on the larger crabs back and the other looked like it was fighting to get on its back also as the larger crab was trying to pry it off with its claws. Looks like the two little ones were jockeying for position
