Hello everyone, I have a bamboo shrimp in my 10G tank that molted early this morning (which is very interesting to see, I caught the last little bit when I woke up). Today is the day when I normally clean the tank, however, I wasn't sure if it would be okay to clean in seeing as the shrimp just molted. I don't want it to get attacked by my tetras or catfish. Would cleaning it be okay? Or should I just wait a couple of days?

The oto's and the Black Skirts shouldn't attack the bamboo shrimp. I would wait a couple of days though to see if the shrimp eats the molt. If he doesn't touch it after a day or so then it should be ok to take it out.
