The shrimp doctor got sick?!?!?!

The shrimp's antennae are gone! Completely! What's the problem? Is it a disease or did someone "shorten" them?

Deborah2682

Most likely an injury or "shortened." It happened that I got into aggressive corals and two antennae came off; after the next molt, they were ugly and crooked, but after another one, everything was fine. Sometimes during molting, they can't "take off the stockings from the antennae and break them..."

Most likely, it has molted heavily! My last one unsuccessfully shed its old exoskeleton, leaving behind slightly bent antennae... The antennae help it search for food... If possible, leave food near it or even feed it... Until the next molt...

Problems with molting are most often related to a lack of iodine. Two years ago, I lost a tor due to this. Regularly change the water to prevent this from happening again.

I also came across information that regular 5% alcohol iodine can be added, but I can't seem to find the dosage.

It is extremely unsafe without prior testing.

By the way, my wife adds 2 drops of iodine once a week! She went on a business trip, and I somehow forgot to add it, and then this situation with the shrimp happened... maybe it's a coincidence... BUT!!! I added 2 drops, and the shrimp started to grow their antennae back without molting... Aquarium 300 liters

The shrimp has already partially molted its antennae. I think everything is fine. I feed it regularly.

My cat also lacked a big whisker, but today a whisker appeared, although it's half as short.

Crystal

I decided to add to the complete picture. After the third shedding, the mustache of the torus completely formed. I fed it every day and added a couple of drops of iodine from the pharmacy once a week. I cannot claim that my actions led to such quick results.
