Shrimp Question

[santos]

I have a vampire shrimp and four amano shrimp. After they molt should I leave the old shell (skeleton) in the tank. If so for how long?
Thanks
Santos

No, you can tank it out.

Hi,

I always leave mine in as they will eat it which is good for them.

Absolutely leave it in...many in the tank will eat it. It returns protein, etc into the system. I never remove my molts, either FW or SW. SH

 

[Dude]

if you have a planted tank leave it in it could be usefull
]
but it up to you

weather it bothers you or not

and steelhealr is right is dose help the eco out but
i dont think its THAT effective

i leave mine inside the filter

Thanks everyone
I had heard its best to leave it in, but my shrimp seem to ignore it. I had heard they may eat it.
So I will leave it in.
Thanks again.
