SamH Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 No tropical shrimp as such although there has been success acclimatizing native shrimp up to 24C. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Ive just gotten around 20 shrimp and they are up around the 25-26 degree mark and doing fine so far. around 5 have died, mostly the larger ones. This is their second day at the higher temperature so nothing final yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vervo Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I tried with native shrimp and my fish decided to have a live meal instead of make friends.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingmatherz Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 artem - did ur shrimp survive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Yep, its hard to tell how many. I can count around 15 most of the time. It seems the medium sized ones survived as I cant see any of the tiny ones I had(2-3mm ) I think I even saw one of the big ones with eggs as it had some white stuff in its body but I cant be sure. They seem to hide out on the backs of rocks most of the time and I think its because of the intensity of the light. I currently have them at 24.5 degrees Celsius and they are just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artem Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I got mine from Brackishtanklover because Im lazy, but you should be able to find them in most streams. I just couldnt be bothered to go looking for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
