High GH causes minor molting problems
I was keeping my sugar yellow shrimps (Neocaridina heteropoda) in a tank with high TDS and high GH. It was not really high. GH was 9 degree, but still, it’s more than they need.
There are several shrimps that have problems with getting rid of their old skin. These shrimps are alive and become normal later.
I would like to show how it looks like. Some part of a skin is still attached to their tail.
Look at the pictures below:

What a interesting page. Will keep this information in mind
Thanks for sharing. Alawys good to find a real expert.
I am thinking to buy few sugar yellow shrimps to be in the same tank with my crystal red shrimp. The tank’s GH is 6-8. Would this GH cause any issue with sugar yellow shrimp?
No, they are undemanding, they can live everywhere.
Sugar yellow shrimps is my personal breeding project. These shrimps have a distinctive white stripe on a back. I’m trying to create a stable colony from them now.
