[APD] FW shrimp and iodine

[Erin Poythress <anang3 at yahoo_com>]

I've read some people (including some sellers of
shrimp AND iodine) recommend adding small amounts of
iodine to FW tanks to aid in the molting of their
crustaceans. Opinions on whether this is really
necessary? 

I recently acquired 2 bamboo shrimp who are redder
than I thought they ever got, and are doing great now.
Should I add iodine? (Note: I don't care if they
breed, though that would be cool to observe.)
