acclimitising shrimp,

[magman53]

Hi all,

How long should we acclimitise shrimp for, is 2 hours fine if salinity is the same as the lfs?

2 hours its abit long IMO . I would do the drip for about 45 min.

I usually do three hours minimum on fish, depending the salinty of the lfs, I thought if salinity is the same, I could cut it down to 2 hours...........45 mins is dangerous imo, I thought shrimps needed much longer though?

You'll be fine with two hours. I assuming they're already in the tank though? That's a good rule of thumb, very safe imo. I'll usually try to cover part of the container with a towel in an effort to calm the animal while acclimating.
