I'm sure shrimp aren't territorial. Usually in the past I have only seen them 'squabble' over food which is why I smash the pellets up so it can be spread around in the tank. Usually a change of water will encourage moulting so any new shrimps will probably moult soon after being put in the tank! Younger shrimps moult more often than adults as they are growing quicker. I almost always see discarded shells (some people call them ghosts which I like) after my maintenance and water change! Have you managed to resist the urge to get more shrimps yet? I ordered 10 blue bolts for sometime this week................ Simon

I haven't got any new shrimps yet. the larger shrimps are fighting at the corner hiding spot, not for food, I also mush the food up into powder.

It seems like my shrimps are growing fast everyday, it seem lots of skin are been shreaded, is it normal. Also a few of my older shrimps are always fighting, are shrimps terrestrial.

It is harder to see eggs on Caridina shrimps as the colour is solid but I think you would still see the eggs, they usually go from yellow to grey as they develop! Sometimes the shrimp may drop the eggs for some reason, or maybe they have hatched out and will be VERY tiny and hard to see as they start out clear and would naturally hide. I wouldn't worry too much though as long as the parameters are good and you have plenty and thats a yes to both you will get babies at some stage. As you haven't had them long so was probably berried when you got her, she may have been stressed and dropped the eggs? Simon
