My blue shrimp came in today also, so now I have 5g cherry tank and the 10g blue tank. I know iodine is used for their new exoskeleton when they molt, but is it necessary to add extra? If you do add it, what type do you use.
Do you use Iodine for your shrimp

I don't dose Iodine, but Hbh crab and lobster bites have it as an igredient. I plan on getting them some of that food (as soon as I find it locally!!) to add to their meal plan.
I did use it when I had amano shrimp. They hadn't molted in the month I had them. One dose and they molted. But they were in a betta tank with little excess food. I would guess that Iodine would be had if they had more food.
