    Default will MTS grow back their limbs after molt?

    i got a mountain fan shrimp over the weekend but i didnt fully examine him when i got home. i was too occupied with the mystery shrimp to pay attention to the fan shrimp. Today, the fan shrimp was pressed against the front of the tank and i notice that a couple of his limbs are broken.

    do MTS grow back their limbs on the next molt?

    Most other shrimp do, so I would think so.

    MTS = Multi-Tank Syndrome - most common ailment among BCA members

    MFS = Mountain Fan Shrimp

    MTS also = malaysian trumpet snail - a fairly common ailment amongst most fishkeepers I'd say; second to the pond snail of course
    Dwarf cichlids = more personality per inch than just about any other fish (maybe even animal) that you'll ever have as a pet

    Haha I saw the title and wondered why malaysian trumpet snails would have limbs. But anyways, yes, the fan shrimp should be able to regrow its limbs after several molts most likely.

    you may wanna see if somethings biting the limbs off the fan shrimp. The first pic left side looks like a fresh bite mark.

    A soon to be collective database of shrimp information. You can submit topics to me for me to talk about once I have compiled pictures and profiles for all shrimps. Once the shrimp pictures are finished I will start hosting club meets where more indepth discussions can be talked about.
