Perrow Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 So my CRS have been going wild for a while and I need to thin the herd. I'm still waiting on the store to reply but they've were interested a few weeks ago. My problem is that I'm low on transport bags and need to pack a lot of shrimp. I can find advice for packing shrimp for about two to four hours transport. All I find is about shipping and my intuition says I can pack them quite a lot denser than that. The most precise number I've seen was 10 to 15 per half a liter (1/8 gallon), anybody got an opinion, or better yet experience. 10 to 15 per half a liter was for shipping, with potentially multiple days delivery time.

AllFishNoBrakes Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) How far away is the LFS? I’m assuming a couple hours, or a couple hours in the bag total between catching and bagging all of them and then transport from the wording in your post Don't overthink it. I’ve taken 100 at a time to the LFS with 25-33 in each bag with a little chunk of moss in the bag. The shrimp appreciate something to hold on to during transport.

T. Payne Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 With a sufficient amount of air and something for the shrimp to cling to, I wouldn't hesitate to put 100 in a large bag for a couple of hours. I've done this before at swaps and have yet to have an issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Density isn't really the concern. Talk to the store and ask what works best for them. Might be one large bag, might be 2-3 small ones, might be a bucket. Shrimp need something to hang onto. Plant trimmings, moss, or a piece of mesh is the typical item that is used. The more you pack, the bigger that piece of thing needs to be. That's all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
