Shrimp & Heart Attack

One Gallon Ziplock - 1/2 empty...1/2 full.

I, too, want to find out the cause...for future reference.

shrimps,link sp starfishes,+plus quite a few other species r not good candidates of transporters due to sensitive to temp swings n sg.

I thought it was air at first, but seems to be a big ziploc bag. Just that when you say half empty... I don't know if Ziploc bags enable you to trap air as well.

Anyway, it could also be to the cold weather that we're having which I probably would think it is.

1 There was air in the bag!
2 They were placed in a cooler in the house as soon as they were put in the bag.
3 My car was parked across the street from K's house, so it took me all of 3 min. to get them into a nice warm car.
4 The cooler was cradled within the folds of my coat in the front passenger seat. The only turbulance I would imagine should have been a low swaying as I took turns.

Guess it just one of those things that we will never know the answer to.

Thanks for all the responces though!!!:grouphug:

was there a rubberband in the bag?

shrimp tend to freak out when they cant hold on to something

i agree with ya... usually when i buy shrimp i throw ina few rubber bands so they can climb on and what not... a few times i didnt do it cause the lfs said no need and those few times the shrimps died... lucky it was still in the baggg so i drove back to the lfs and made him replace them and add rubber bands... no issues then... if they dont have rubber bands u can use bounty... lol good luck

You need to put a small piece of mesh (net) or sponge or poly fill for the shrimp to hold onto. Did you do that? If not, bye bye shrimp.
