I wouldn't swirl the water but I had to liberate mine from an Ecosphere (bubble) and they ended up getting a little bit shaken and stirred. The best part was seeing them swim around in the new tank. It's almost as if they fly. So difficult to take my eyes off of them. You should definitely set up a ...

Seconded

My filter has been turned off since the shrimp made their way into the tank. I'm probably going to keep it off unless I can get a little sponge to put on the end so they don't get sucked up. Glad to see you're starting your tank, this forum has been super helpful to me and you should definitely list...

My tank is at 69.2 now I'm starting to wonder if I should heat it up in there. I'm glad there's another ecosphere liberator in these parts! Yay shrimp!

:D The shrimp are in the tank! :D I will be posting a short video of the little guys in their home. I got to see all four running around and starting their merry shrimp adventures. It's a bit removed from their destined tank date of December 25th, but I'm glad I got the water just right for them. I...

This is an informative read! I'm glad I'm not the only one who had low amount of ammonia in my water in the onset of cycling. Glad to read this success story, gives me hope!

Right, I knew there was something I forgot to add in my parameters! Ammonia! My ammonia level is at ~0.25 - should I be concerned about this? And V, I was referring to the the GH being so high - does that not matter? I really wanna add the shrimp in, but I wanna give them perfect conditions, bless t...

I don't really have anything to add but I just started cycling my first tank a couple days ago and I wanted to wish you all the luck!

Thanks V! That means so much to hear you say the seawater was a fine idea. I was afraid I was going to get someone telling me that it's going to kill the shrimp cause its from the Atlantic and not the Pacific or something. Hey so, I just did my first parameters check tonight. I'm just going to post ...

I got one of those deathtrap Ecosphere things but I decided to buy a tank for the little shrimp. I thought they were Red Cherry Shrimp but they totally are not, the guy at the fish store was misinformed and so was I. Creating a saltwater environment for these critters should be easy for me. I'm plan...
