Hi is it ok for my shrimps not top off for a month?
And if there are larvaes in there?
How much evaporated that these shrimps can handle?

In their natural habitats, adults experience and can tolerate substantial changes in salinity. Studies have shown that maintaining salinity on the higher side is conducive to better survival into the post-larval stage. This is probably because larvae live down in rock crevices, where salinity remains consistently higher. If your container is at least partially covered, one month away shouldn’t make much difference. I haven’t added water in over one year, and have had substantial reproduction.
