Shrimp survival rate

[Billy Yap]

Hi all

I cannot figure out why my shrunk shrimp cannot survive as compared to boxing, mantis and coral band shrimps which I have in my tanks.

Water parameter is near ideal

Do advise. Thanks

Mantis ate the skunk?

Nope, mantis is hiding comfortable in its own palace. Forgot to inform I have a 1 emperor shrimp too..

Yup, few hours...

when u release ur shrimp, don't release them at the top of ur tank. shrimp cannot swim they can only dive. so when ur shrimp is released on the top of ur tank, it dive down too quickly that the pressure causes their shell to crack. heard this from jasmine at sea life aquarium

[xiggie]

Pressure in 2 feet of water? Really?

Serious?

Jasmine from sea life tell me oneee. Idk true or not ah. But usually i just play safe and release them close to some rocks

[Billy Yap]

Anyway, going to get 2 shrunk shrimp soon...this time acclimate for 2 days lor with feeding

Lol... Maybe can ask the Jasmine whether need to walk up the stairs to your apartment or not... Air pressure differential may also kill the shrimp...

Few hours maybe too much as I only acclimate for abt 30mins Max for shrimps.

Hv 2 big cleaner shrimps n 3 sexy shrimps for abt 9mths, still surviving.

30 mins of acclimatization is like NOT acclimatizing at all...

Eh .. ya .. I agree that 30mins is not enough. The point is to drip enough tank water into the bag until the water in the bag is as close to that of the tank as possible.

Really? Haha..... Then I must be lucky to hv them survive till now.

[Billy Yap]

Any shrimps compatibility chart ? I search through my best friend internet and found NONE!

[Kingking]

Both my Fire and Boxing Shrimp put in bag floated for 30 mins after taking back to my tank.

Then I released it straight away to tank.

They are okay to date after 8 months.

So easy mine all die after put inside the tank for 24hrs

Skunk, fire, peppermint, sexy and anemone shrimps are ok together. Don't fight each other. Except when feeding time, skunk and fire tend to snatch each other's food. Banded shrimps also tried, more ferocious than the rest stated, but still living together.

Hi, not sure if this thread is done but, i bought a skunk cleaner last 4 days, i read online from another foreign forum, and follow this acclimatization method. I acclimatize my shrimp.for 2.5hrs with the first hour added 100ml of tank water everu 15 mins. And second hour and a half i remove 100ml of the bag water and add another 100ml of tank water. Its been 4 days and my skunk shrimp is doing fine and is eating the fallen pellet on sand bed during feeding.

I brought 2 shrunk shrimps yesterday, I woke up this morning and they look good finally except boxing shrimp is trying to make "friend" with them....

[Whiskie]
