Shrimp Cemetery: Take care of open tanks!

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I deinstalled my shrimp rack recently for my removal. What I found shocked me: 22 dead and dried dwarf shrimps on the floor :/ So don’t believe anybody saying open tanks are okay for shrimps… I already oberserved that Guinea Swarm Shrimp are good jumpers, but in fact every shrimp is in danger to commit suicide when living in an tank without coverage.
