    Congratulations.
    Now keep them alive till they reach adulthood, and then supply us with some.

    Some people keep them in a pot of salt water then drip freshwater in over a few days. Seems your way has worked :)

    As far as I have been led to know it takes them less that a minute to go from SW to FW in there natural environment.With the speed at which they move to try get out of SW and no doubt to avoid predators makes it beleiveable.Apparently they can only stay in SW for approximately 2 days before dying.

    very very nice ... so does this mean that every FW tank owner needs to run a SW tank for a constant supply of shrimp ...
