Does a shrimp tank need water changes?

Asked: Simon Thompson, Last Updated:

I advise only changing water every 2nd week, this is the safest way to allow your shrimp to molt properly every time at their own pace. For the more advanced shrimp keeper that can make their own water to specific parameters that match what the shrimp is in, more regular water changes are achievable.
