Retarded Questions..

I have a couple of questions....
1. I noticed that my dull colored ghost shrimp was missing an atenna. Will it grow back?
2. How do you know when ghost shrimp are ready to molt.
Thanks

1. I think after every molt it will grow back. Slowly but surely it will be back to normal.

2. I found that my shrimp were hiding under rocks, in plants, or behind the heater and then they would molt through the night.

Thanks
BTW are they dull colored when they are about to molt?

They get opaque. Another sign(IMHO) is when they get opaque and less active.

James is spot on.
My shrimp do the same thing here.
