Anyone ever kept Hawaii Volcanic Red Shrimps

[EvolutionZ]

i think put cherry or malayan inside less than 1 week all gone liao..

Yea, i read from somewhere that these shrimps can take freshwater to full strength saltwater. And they can last months without food.. poor things
The shrimps in the ecosphere in the Science centre are still alive after 10 years though

The shrimp requires special environment for them to survive, it will not survive in our tank. That's why the create a biosphere to keep the shrimp in there. My guess is that the water must be very acidic.

Personally I will not support such products, as it is really cruelty.

That sound very cruel... Kept the shrimps in the biosphere without food and slowly torture them to death... Shrimps are living things and should not be treated that way

Wow i always wanted a biosphere and i never knew someone would crack it open jus to get the 6 shrimps.. i think the cost should not be so high if u buy it without the biosphere

bro go search around in google or yahoo.. sure got.. thats the website of ecosphere and his selling it.. of course he wont tell you that shrimps are slowly dying..

I did not know that the shrimps starve to death & to think that I actually wanted to buy one of this...

To everyone,

Please do not support this product as it is equivalent to animal torture To think the world is doing so much for other animals like stray dogs & cats... But they are doing this to shrimps...
