One of my wildcaught Sulawesi Shrimp apparently arrived with molting problems. I detected it the next day after I got them as they where fully colorated again. Meanwhile, the shrimp looks good after having molt.
Goldflake shrimp (caridina spinata) with molting problems
In some German forums the so called ‘Sulawesi Seuche‘ (=Sulawesi epidemic) was discussed controversially. Wildcaught Sulawesi shrimp had brown spots inside the body, looking like rust. This shrimp often died after molting. If those shrimp should be killed to avoid infection of others was a hot discussed topic. A longer arcticle about the acclimatization of caridina dennerli [cardinal shrimp] is avalaible at Mirco’s blog.
