This crs shrimps should be constantly busy and active when it's introduce into the tank. If you see the shrimps starts keeping still and not behaving or eating as normal, then the water condition is not right or if you see them swim up and then float and grasp for air or motionless and let themselves get carried by the current then your water is in a state of emergency. Check on the water condition and temperature of the tank with test kits, still many things to learn in order to rear and breed this crs shrimps.
Shrimps moult on a regular basis as the sign of growing. A new shell will be formed which in time will be also be shed and replaced again. So, if you see an empty shrimp shell, you don't have to be alarmed. In fact, just leave it alone and it will be eaten back as a source of calcium. Actually, it is very interesting to see them moult and the shell shed left the image of shrimp alike and many time when I saw one, thought was a dead shrimp. LOL.
Type of food for the crs.
They should be fed a varied diet rich in vegetable matter. It is also good to have moss or riccia in the tank so that they have a ready snack when they are hungry and never starve. They also eat algae but there should not be algae in your tank because if so your nitrates is too high. Algae tablets/pellets for bottom feeders are available at most aquariums. I used to feed them with mosura shrimp food.
