Your little Wasabi also needs some protein so she can grow bigger with this molt! She needs meat, whether it's dried shrimp and bugs or fresh meat you're eating for dinner (taken off before you season the meat). Tell your mom and she should be okay with saving you a little piece.
Oh, and unfortunately, like Marie said, the pre-mixed salt water is made with the same salt water mix that you had (the salt water conditioner) and has all the same properties, i.e. it is very bad for crabs. What you need to look for is a salt water aquarium salt water mix. Instant Ocean and Oceanic are the brands you need to look for.

So since you bought it, did the post:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3129 asking about its safety and I replied you have not used it or opened it so it can be returned for a proper ocean/sea salt mix?
