Cleaner Shrimp exoskeleton

[stieger]

Hi folks,

Just a quick question -

I just put my first tank inhabitants in on Saturday (2 false percs, and a cleaner shrimp).

The cleaner shrimp has already "deposited" one exoskeleton. Is this something to be concerned about since he's only been in the tank 2 days? Is it a good thing?

good sign. thet sheed al the time.

Do I have to get it out of the tank? I got this one out because I thought it was the shrimp, but then I saw him crawling around.

Anyway, does leaving the skeleton in the tank harm it in any way? 100 gallon.

Best,

Stieger

you can take it out no harm to tank.

howdy,

sorry for asking in such an odd manner - IF I leave the skeleton in the tank, will it spike any levels?

Thx,

Generally any clean up crew will eat it. I rarely even see them.
