Can rear Shrimps on salt-egg urn in garden?

even with water lilies, the temp in the urn will eventually be close to its surrounding temperature as after all, it's a urn and not a huge body of water. the lilies may provide cover from direct sunlight, but not keep the water cool.

i used to stay in kampong when i was a kid. we often keep small fish in urn and the water is very cold, and those small swordtail, the colours is very red, always live very healthy.
regarding the dragonflies babies, then i dunno how liao if they manage to breed there. Unless u stay terrace house, dun think is common to see dragonfly flying in HDB flat.
tats why i said- give it a shot. u never try, u never know.
if i got an urn, i sure will try.... but sadly cannot keep tat outside HDB flat. but it wun be nice putting in the house.

I just had a close brush with dragonfly nymps and its no joke. They are vicious and really difficult to get rid of once you have them.

However I suppose in nature e.g. a pond the shrimp would have to fend off whatever lurks round the corner. If you must then I'd imagine that Malayans and even green shrimps could be a possibilty. Both can tolerate higher temperature

Ha! True true I suppose what we could offer is information and the ultimate decision lies with Cabgirl. Just reading some of the other posts (including mine) and thinking perhaps someone can write a book titled Shrimps: 101 ways to die (sick joke I know)
