if your tank/water is healthy , how often do they molt?

**Deanos** · 06-11-2008, 09:24 AM

Depends how much they eat/grow.

We have 3 cleaners and 1 bloodshrimp and they all molt at different times, in varying lengths of time between molts. (the ones I notice that is) All depends on how much they are eating and how fast they are growing like Deanos mentioned.
