Help! How can I get the shrimplets into the tank?

[wtusa1783]

So I got a berried orange Sakura shrimp and a male at my lfs. I didn’t have a tank for them so I put them in a breeder box. Well turns out the female had the babies bc I drip acclimated them to their own tank last night and today I looked in the bucket with the water from the drip acclamation and there are a bunch of babies. What should I do? Should I drain water from the tank and the just dump all the water from the bucket into the tank?

Run them all through a shrimp net then dump them in. They should be fine

I don’t have a shrimp net unfortunately. Will my method of just dumping the water in work?

Yes, it would. Likely the water is fine since shrimp dont typically carry any diseases you could transfer to your tank! Congrats on the new babies!

I forgot, and I should mention that I am assuming your shrimp came from a shrimp only tank and you are adding them to a shrimp only tank.
if any fish are involved, its a risk. (Had to say that just to ease my conscience, lol)
