Stressed up shrimp in breeding net

**Dscyth** · 24th Oct 2012, 20:39

Hi all, 1 week ago I bought a breeding net and put 2 berried CRS in. I added one marimo ball and few frogbits into the breeding net for food and surface to crawl.

Sadly, now they looked very pale and dull, I couldn't bear but take them out again.

Any ideas on how to destress the shrimp yet keep them in the breeding net?

Actually it would be best not to keep them in breeding box/net..

Most shrimps which i put into breeding box seems stress also not to mention nets..

Bro alvinchan80, I have 4 endlers in the tank, that's why I am afraid that the shrimplets will become fish food.

Bro, you have to choose.. It's a tough choice.. Been through it..

But you have a choice.. Set 2 tanks? 1 for endlers, 1 for shrimps?

breeder net tank not advisable to put for a long time. I only put them like one night(8 hours) if female not berried i remove them. if you want you shrimps to breed, i advise set another tank or remove your endlers or i would suggest do partition if your tank can have. enjoy bro

$10? Sounds like the SERA breeding net right? I ended up using that to keep rubbish like hang on trash bin..

Thanks for the compliment bro Dscyth.. I will be decommissioning 1 rack to do up another one for replacement... Shall update when it is in progress..

Yes it is the Sera net! I find it quite a pity to use it for rubbish. Can I up the shrimp let's in there? Will they be stress up since they do not know their natural habitat?

Decommissioning rack? I can help you hold on to the shrimps

Shrimplets you can try.. They should be ok.. But try keep the net in the tank to 'cultivate' biofilm or bacteria growth so they got something to feed on...
