I looked into the tank today and what do I see? a dead shrimp on the rock now I get upset but then I see another shrimp under the rock so I felt kind of stupid I guess it just molted..... Also my wife and I talk later in the day and she yells at me because I bought another shrimp.

:roll:

LOL. That's pretty funny. I did the same thing when my emerald crab molted for the first time :? My gf's roomate had turned off the ac in the apt. and I thought the heat killed it. After my gf got mad at her for "killing the crab" and finding it later alive, we just told her we had bought a new one.

No prob. I thought I'd have to buy em back from you after getting a pretty bad cyano bloom a few days ago but I think I've gotten it to go away :P . Good to hear they're workin out for you.

Sounds like my sunday morning. My 7-year-old came into the bedroom all excited yelling "Daddy, Daddy the cleaner shrimp died!" At 7 am I am just not ready for that. Well I checked on this later and it turned out that it had molted.

So do you leave the moltings in the tank or pull them out?

That's it!! You know it's a funny thing, since I started this whole saltwater thing I got yelled at a lot. Is this one more of life's unwritten rules?
Of course as with any man thats been married for a while I always have the last word.
Yes DEAR.
