Is this a ghost shrimp molt?

[RainGamma]

it looks like one but I’m gonna ask the pros.

 

[Colin_T]

yep

 

[RainGamma]

yep

Okay thanks btw I heard that other ghost shrimp can eat it?

 

[FishGuest5123]

Correct. Leave it there. It’s good for them.

 

[TheTenthDoctor]

Yes, mine always come back and eat it

Hungry shrimp will eat their own moulting but other shrimp will eat it if they find it first. If the shrimp are well fed, they won't eat it.

I also got a question what else do they eat besides algae? I heard I can give them vegetables

 

[Colin_T]

feed shrimp the same food you feed fish.

I feed mine Hikari Crab Cuisine, Ken’s Veggie sticks, and zucchini/cucumber once or twice a week.

That's weird. Kinda like eating your own boogers.

I have to disagree here. Mine are probably overfed but they still eat the shell.

It's nothing like eating your own boogas. Boogas are a combination of dust, pollen, bacteria, yeast viruses and mucous.

It's more like eating your own raw skin.

Colin, you're scaring me.

Surely my signature gives you some idea that I'm a bit messed up. And the goblins in my basement, one of whom is named Deanasue, can confirm that
