when there small and still have their external gills they dont go up for air yet. once the gills are gone them they start taking there dips for air.
rest assured about the air though. i was just being precautious.
i had 24 in a container for 2 days without any powerhead blowing towards it or airstone.

really?
ive seen them go up for air to breathe before.
even before i put them in the containers.

Personally, I"d be concerned with the lack of water exchange in those containers, especially with them pooping in there. Just a thought.

I was thinking the same. Adding air stones in there would be a great idea.

Another great holding tanks are those little turtle tank. The big ones are a great fit for many tank openings.

i cant lie. i actually got the idea from r1. i think it was about a year ago when he had a big laundry basket floating in his 600. i think it was housing some azul growouts.

you mean critter cages?or?
i will be setting a pump to blow at the containers for the moment.
lots of water flow then...
but i still have to manually remove the shrimp...
too big and heavy to float out.
