There are many reasons for the death of shrimp after shelling. If it is due to the lack of oxygen in the water body, we need to pay attention to oxygen in peacetime, and the shelling period should continue to explode oxygen. If it is due to poor water quality, attention should be paid to stabilizing water quality and avoiding PH and temperature fluctuations. If it is because of insufficient nutrition, we need to pay attention to the nutritional mix when feeding at ordinary times. If it is because of bacterial invasion, we need to do a good job of prevention.
Why do shrimps die after shelling and how to make shrimps shell safely?

1. the water body is anoxic

The death of shrimps after shelling is probably caused by the lack of oxygen in the water body. Because of its high requirement for oxygen, it is necessary to provide sufficient oxygen during the shelling period. Even in grass tanks, aquatic plants can produce oxygen through photosynthesis, and they also need to keep pumping oxygen into the water.

2. poor water quality

Shrimp usually do not have high requirements for water quality, but the shelling period is different, poor water quality can easily lead to its death. Usually the water should be weak acid, pH control between 6. 5-7, water hardness should also be strictly controlled, usually around 4-6, hardness can be a little lower, so the success rate of shelling will be higher.

3. lack of nutrition

Shrimp shelling is physically demanding, if the body itself is very poor, usually intake of inadequate nutrition, it may also lead to death when shelling. Therefore, we must pay attention to feeding in peacetime, we can use artificial feed with a little meat, such as fish or snail meat, but we must clean up, cut up and feed them.

4. Bacterial invasion

Shrimp is very fragile when shelling. If there are some harmful bacteria in the water, they will also take the opportunity to invade the body, causing it to get sick and die. In order to avoid this kind of thing happening, need to open the cylinder when the attention of disinfection, any put into the cylinder of the scenery should also be sterilized. In addition, the usual feeding bait must ensure the safety of the source.
