How long after my fire shrimp molts should I wait to do a water change?

I don't think it would make any difference as long as the temp and salinity are the same. After molting the shirimp usually hides until it's new shell gets hard enough.

Agree, my shrimp molt all the time but I just go on with my weekly maintenance. Water changes in my experience have no impact on a newly molted shrimp.
