Don't freshwater dip shrimp.

I didn't know that.


Oops

Uh oh....why did you fresh water dip them?? Were you hungry??

I was putting my damsel and Copperband into the 70 and caught a peppermint shrimp at the same time. All 3 in the same bag and the shrimp wouldn't jump out for me , so I just stuck him in the dip with the other two. This very quickly resulted in a dead shrimp, or what I like to call, fresh anemone food. It's the circle of life. Just glad it was the $2.75 peppermint not the $25 cleaner.

Next time you want to dip your shrimp, I'd suggest a nice beer batter, followed by hot oil for a couple minutes.

Mine climbed on top of my glass lid and got cooked by the 250DE MH light.... looked pretty tasty but I couldn't do it

I wouldn't do a freshwater dip to anything anyways. Just adding to the stress of the fish.
