Shrimp transport

Post by jweis »

I am going to be giving some RCS to another GWAPA member on Saturday. I have bought the breather bags, but I am worried that the shrimp will get too hot sitting in the car. Should I put some ice packs around them?

The other options would be to bring them in and out of the homes during the tank tours, but I worry that sloshing them about might not be good for them either.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Use one of those insulated, soft lunch bags and carry them around. I think it's supposed to rain Saturday, so it might stay cool enough in the car.

Once you go Dutch you can't stop trimming.

Or bring them in with you. What's a little more sloshing? ;)
Honestly, if it's hot out they would be better off inside.

And put a bit of plant or moss in the bag for them to hang on to. That's a good practice for shipping shrimp. Then the sloshing doesn't matter nearly as much!
It is not murder if you're killing snails.
