Posting Cherry Shrimp

[Andypalf]

Hello. My tank is over run with the little fellas. They must be very happy as over the last 8 months 20 shrimp have become well over 100. So I thought I'd make a little pocket money and sell a few.

I was going to put about 20 in a small plastic jar (very strong) in about 150ml of tank water. And add a 1/4 of an algae wafer for them to munch on. Then wrap in bubble wrap to insulate and pop it in a jiffy bag to send Royal Mail Next Day Delivery.

Do you think they'll be alright like that? Cheers

Add some floating plants to the container so that they can cling to it and please, please make sure that it is water tight otherwise you could get in trouble with the postal service if it leaks all over their equipment.

You won't need to put in any food as you will be using next day delivery service so will arrive in reasonable condition.

Not sure about a heatpack, but if you get a really cold snap you would need one as cherry shrimp don't like it too cold.
