How often should a cleaner shrimp molt?

by handlink

I got mine on 12/27, he molted the next day on 12/28, and just molted again today on 1/8, 11 days later. I've heard it's normal for molting to occur about 3 to 4 weeks apart. Is this right or what is normal? If this isn't normal then what can I do to stabilize his molting??

every animal is different, although 2 to 3 weeks is normal your may love its environment and is molting faster nothing is wrong with that. just shows your doing a great job. =]
