To much molting???!!

[OGFadedThoughts]

I have a 10g RCS tank I only have 8 and one amano.

My question is, how much molting is too much? Every day I find atleast one exoskeleton floating around today I found 3. I know molting is normal but is there such thing as to much? Will it kill them?

It mostly depends on the water temperature I think. Warmer water is going to encourage a faster life-cycle for them, hence more frequent molts.

Okay thank you. What's a good temp to keep them at?

For my shrimp tank, I just have a regular ole Tetra heater in there, so whatever temperature that those things maintain the water works for me.

Low 70s is ideal for nearly all common freshwater shrimp

If they are young and growing sometimes very frequently. I would make sure you are feeding an invert food like Hikari Crab Cuisine or Shrimp Cuisine and add some cuttlebone.
