I read that addition of vitamin D3 interferes with the metabolism of calcium and inorganic phosphorus in prawn tissues, and alters moulting frequency. The food I'm feeding my prawn has 680IU of D3 in it. It is marine food pellets. He loves the stuff. Has a really high % of protein in it.
The reason I ask this is it's been about 60 days since he last shed. The time before only took 17 days. Seems odd. I don't want to screw him up by giving him food with a vitamin that haults his moulting. :/
Any ideas? Or if someone wants to throw out the perfect food for one of these, that would be great.. Yeah.. I know, they eat everything.

I don't get why the prawn would die but the other shrimp would be fine in this situation. There has to be a water quality issue somewhere or something he ate wasn't working.
