Do amphipods molt? Because every once in a while I see what looks to be a the shell of one, I know I used to have a huge colony of amphipods but I haven't seen them in a while, could this mean that the population is rebuilding?

I think so.. Every now & then I see the same thing floating around my tank as well. Molting doesn't really have anything to do with reproduction though. It's more about growth.
