TmanNZ Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Last night, my koura started moulting, I was extremely happy! He was sliding and kicking away under his rock and I expected to wake up to him devouring his shell... Sadly I woke to find him curled in a ball... dead, But i found something weird, he was a slight red tinge, like how they are when you just start to cook them... is this what was meant to be his new skin and flesh or did he suffocate himself? I know that the moult is a very vulnerable time so I am not that sad... but it is still &c:ry dissapointing. Should I collect a new one? Or should I get some bullies for my 54 Litre... It's got a freshwater mussel in their so I don't really want to restart... any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Temp and water quality can make the moult harder on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
