Sorry to hear that. Wow, the temperature must have been very hot for the water to get to 31degC.

Well, what can I say, de ja vu, was it a heater malfunction or just ambient room temperature? I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the 3 survivors either if my experience was anything to go by - but I will keep my fingers crossed they survive! Really sorry to hear the news and if anyone can feel your pain that would be me. Hopefully you can just remove the cooked shrimps and start again without having to go through the whole process of re-setting up the tank and cycling from scratch like I am? Hope everything is going well with the old tank. The shops sound similar to ours in old towns, they started as houses and then get divided to shops street level and basement and the upper floors are either offices or residential. Simon

In Hong Kong we have a street with over 40 shops from reptiles, fish, dog, cats, shrimps, and plants, everything a few minutes away, whiles we have all these shop, they are divided as up stair shops and street floor shop, most of the normal shops are street level, whiles the mid price and expensive stuff and up stairs shop (house convert to a shop). and many shops sell these fish and shrimps already pre packed at a slight cheap price than if you buy from a tank, just like the blue bolts, pre-packed is 5 for GBP 10, if you buy from a tank 4 for GBP 10, and shrimps in the up stairs shop can cost anything GBP200 or more. I'll see if I can take a photo to give you an idea.

More bargains, I expect to pay GBP10 each and thought that was reasonable enough here? Simon

update, some upsetting new, all shrimps except 3 has died in the new tank, as the water in the tank went upto 31 celcius, the other 3 was half dying, I put them into the old tank, and seem to be ok for now.
