How often is it normal for a peppermint shrimp to moult? I have one that seems to be moulting every 10 days since I got it a few weeks ago---this doesn't seem right somehow!
My cleaner shrimps which I've had for a while longer don't seem to have moulted at all yet.....:confused:

It depends on the age. Young ones molt pretty frequently. As they mature, and growth slows they molt less frequently.

Mine does it about once every one or two months. But for some reason, it just moulted twice in 3 weeks.
