CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Why can't I keep the mantis shrimp I bought alive?

Why can't the shrimps I bought survive?

Goby shrimps grow in the sea and cannot survive in fresh water, or in water with a salinity lower or higher than sea water.

If you want to raise them for a while, you should add salt to the water and adjust the salinity to a level slightly saltier than the soup before putting the shrimps in.

I put the shrimps I bought from the market into the turtle tank, and the turtle died the next day. What happened?

Mantis shrimp is a marine crustacean found in shallow tropical and subtropical waters. It belongs to the subclass of Malacora, just like the crabs and shrimps we commonly see.

Mantis shrimp carry a lot of germs. Mantis shrimp are marine creatures, and turtles live in fresh water. Mantis shrimp will definitely not be able to adapt and will die. After the mantis shrimp dies, the histidine in its body is decomposed by bacteria into a lot of toxins.

The turtle was poisoned by rotten mantis shrimp.
