Ghost shrimp in my 20 gallon that has turned white

HI guys,

I have a ghost shrimp in my 20 gallon that has turned white. Is he molting or is there something wrong with him?

Thanks!

A white ghost shrimp has gone one of two ways for me, they either molt or they die. If the shrimp isn't trying to hide, which they do when they are going to molt soon, then it could most likely be an illness. I've read that it could be because there's not enough iodine but I'm not sure if it's true or not.

There's not really anywhere in the tank to hide right now to be completely honest. He seems pretty normal to me, he's swimming around everywhere and eating and fighting over food. I'm worried though because a second one is turning white as well.

 

How long have you had them? Water parameters?

I got them on July 12th, so just over a month now. I'm doing all of my water changes right now and I usually test once they're all done so I can get back to you on the parameters in a couple of hours

 

They all died... I have no clue what the issue was here. Since those two died only one more got sick and all the others are doing just fine. Oh well. At least the rest of them are doing well.
