Shrimple minded Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I feel ridiculous asking this question, but here goes. Can shrimp see into adjacent tanks on a rack? I have 2 ten-gallon tanks side by side, one with shrimp and the other containing some fish (tetras, guppies). Could the shrimp see the fish in the next tank over and be stressed by their presence?

JamesHe Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Sure, why not. If shrimp can see you outside of tank, they can see another tank. Shrimple minded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 You can simply put a cardboard between tanks to block it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimple minded Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks James. That was going to be my next question. I think I'm gonna find some black paper and slip it between the two tanks. JamesHe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wygglz Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Okay, Shrimple, I understand you felt silly asking, but seriously, I had never thought of that. It is an intersting idea and so many people will now read that and might think about their tank placement. Good question!

Soothing Shrimp Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Interesting you should mention this. I found awhile back that one of my tanks stopped breeding as well. Turns out the fish next to it were scaring the shrimp. A piece of paper between, and back to normal again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
