will fire shrimp lost leggs grow back?

[daniella3d]

Hi,

I have a fire shrimp that lost 3 leggs during a fight with another fire shrimp and I was wondering if they will grow back when the shrimp will molt? If so, will it grow back with one molt or will it take a few molts?

thanks a lot.

Mine lost 3 antennas in a fight. They all grew back with first molt. I assume that legs would be similar, but might affect the shrimps ability to feed? It might also take more than one molt.

BTW. My two fire shrimp are now best friends. :smile:

Legs/claws take more than one molt to grow back. You get legs/claws of larger size each time until it reaches full size.
