My shrimp got declawed

nikkipigtails · 06-06-2008, 01:06 PM

My CBS, Major, had some huge claws. He went into hiding a few days ago, figured he was molting, he came out today and his big claws are GONE! When they get really big, do they lose their big claws and grow new ones or should I look for the culprit? The funny thing is that he's the agressive one in the tank...all the other guys hide when he comes around.

Sounds like karma to me. He had it coming.
Dont worry, they will grow back

He looks so sad.
I honestly have no clue though. I am pretty sure they can grow their claws back but I am not at all certain if this is normal or not.

They will grow back just fine. Mine would occasionally have one massive and one "tiny" until a molt and both would be small then grow up... not sure how/why
