Need to no more like how many gallons is the tank, what are your water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, full stocking list please.

Your fine to add that salt with the shrimps in there.

Thanks, also all my tank stats are fine perfect ammonia 0.00 nitrite 0.00 nitrate0.00 ph 7.5 O.K so here goes Yesterday I found a shell of a shrimp (yamato) and I was wondering weather they shred or it was dead ?Thanks

yeah all shrimps and lobsters and crabs shed there shells and will be hidding because this is when there most vulnarable because there new shell is growing and it is still soft so an easy meal for a fish

Yamato actually go down to the sea (estuary) to breed. So brackish water is perfectly OK with them.

And yes, they do shed their skins every couple of months.
