High GH causes minor molting problems

I was keeping my sugar yellow shrimps (Neocaridina heteropoda) in a tank with high TDS and high GH. It was not really high. GH was 9 degree, but still, it’s more than they need.

There are several shrimps that have problems with getting rid of their old skin. These shrimps are alive and become normal later.

I would like to show how it looks like. Some part of a skin is still attached to their tail.
Look at the pictures below:
