MAN didnt know they are this resilient! :D

Bought a packet of adult shrimps home to feed my fishes,

Some how a few renagade ones ended up at the bath room sink in droplet of fresh water. <_<

Only notice them abt 5hrs later when i got home to bath, still very much alive and kicking!

Apparently the osmosis of fresh water doesnt harm them as it would to other marine (or brackish water) life. :eyeblur:

Nah, i think the are naturally occuring in salt water pans rather then the sea itself, which is infact brine shrimp free (Mysis and krill is the ones thats found in the sea... if i am correct.) :D

Anyway, i changed the water in my shrimp container to fresh water this morning.

So i guess the true answer will be revealed when i get home... weather if a container full of life ones.. or dead floating ones... hehe :P

Okay... the results,

- Experiment to keep adult brine shrimp is fresh water failed...

(Most died the following morning in my fridge while the ones in salt water still kickin' :nc: . So i drained the dead ones... add garlic guard and froze them :lol: still fresh la no prob.)

- Experiment to HATCH BBS in fresh water also failed...

(Takes so much longer and lower hatch % somehow...) :erm:

SEE!!!! Who says NSmen have no time!? :whistle
