Ok, I know ghost shrimp can and do live in sal****er. So what woud be
a good way to acclimate a large bunch of them to sw. I can get a one time good deal on a bunch of them, but have no desire to keep them in freshwater. I would llike to add them to a huge fuge or a separate tank alonog with some smaller fish that would not eat them, as well as be able to pull out a few to feed as a treat to certain fish. Any suggestions appreciated. I figured I would place em all in a 20 gal tank, with a AC110 hob filter, live sand and live rock rubble and some calurpea.....but to start I owuld have em in FW in that tank, and every other day increase salinity by .001 until I get to a salinity of 1.021, and then just observe for a week or so, and then once again adjust it every other day by .001 until I get it to my range of 1.025/1.026 whichis where I keep all my tanks at......From the time I get to 1.021 I would also starat to introduce fully cured live sand every day or so along with live rock......and once I have sufficient sand inplace would introduce the calurpea. I could use chaeto in th interim until calurpea is all in the tank. I know of a few places that sell em all ready acclimated but I am not willing to paya what they want and would rather take it on myself to do it and have something to play with in the process. ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! |
