RTC Shedding...

How can you tell if it is shedding? I don't think that mine is as he appears exactly the same as when I got him however I dont know what I should be looking for. Anyone have pics? Would I clearly be able to tell if he was?

I didn't know that it was desirable, but when my RTC sheds there is skin blowing around the tank untill my filter catches it.

left lighter in cooler due to dead skin, the right almost done shedding. (you can tell)

Awesome. Thank you, exactly what I needed.

Now I've seen mixed things that sometimes this just happens and other times that its from stress/water conditions, do you know which is the case?
