No! Fish is a meat that is very perishable, meaning it goes bad quickly. When I buy shrimp I usually plan to eat it that night, and I keep it on ice in the refrigerator. Where we live we don't get fresh shrimp, so it has already been frozen once, and I use it immediately. Shrimp also becomes rubbery.

PetSmart usually offers them for around 33 cents, Petco also occasionally has them. Talk to the fish person at your local store(s) and ask them to call you when they get them in (people who work in the fish part of the store are generally cool in my experience, leave your number, tell them that you really need them, etc). Call yin advance and see if they have any in stock, instead of driving there.

Also ask them what day of the week they usually get their live shipments. I couldn't justify buying ghost shrimp for more than about 50 cents a piece (not much really when you consider the scope of the amount of work that goes into growing them).

Another option would be to buy high-quality brine shrimp eggs and a cheap used brine shrimp hatchery on either Ebay or a legit-looking online store. HOWEVER I wouldn't suggest buying live ghost shrimp online, they are typically disappointingly small (or comatose/dead) upon arrival.

(This is all under the assumption that you're feeding them to fish)

The wet kind.

Some species live in fresh water, others live in salt water.

hibernate, since they are not fast enough to migrate far distances.

Hearing ranges of a gold fish is:20-3,000

Lobsters will eat almost anything, but their favorite foods are snails, crabs, clams, and urchins.

40,000 pounds

There are not many fish that won't. Maybe algae eaters and large cichlids like fully grown Oscars would not be interested. But just about all Tetras, Danios, Rasboras, Barbs, Anabantids, Dwarf Cichlids, Killi fish, Livebearers etc etc will love a feed of Brine shrimp.

No, it is located in their thorax just below the head. But it does seem that way because their exoskeleton covers its short thorax so it looks like it only has two parts, the head and the tail.

The best way to know is to use a hydrometer to measure the salt level, you want around 1.025 or 35 ppt salt.

No, shrimps are crustaceans.

Yes, shrimps do swim backwards because they don't have fins to move in the water so they pull in their abdomen towards their body quickly. doing this propels them through the water but they are moving backwards.

tricky question!

no. definatley not. if there are any possibility of allergies stay clear of them. There are certain fish food's you cannot eat while your pregnant because of the mercury, but yes you can have shrimp. Whoever wrote the above answer probably cannot get pregnant and is mad at the world. Go ahead just stay away from a whole bunch of albacore tuna. Eat the shrimp!

Ghost Shrimp are a species of Shrimp. They have gills, so they absorb oxygen directly from the water. Just like fish, they do not breath air.

Yes. There's a variety of saltwater and freshwater shrimp. Some examples of saltwater shrimp are cleaner shrimp and mantis shrimp, and some examples of freshwater shrimp are cherry shrimp and bamboo shrimp. If you do get a pet shrimp, make sure you research how to properly care for the shrimp you decide on.

It could be assumed that while ghost shrimp may not have a brain in the same sense that you or I have a brain, they, along with all other arthropods, have some collection of nervous tissue located in the head which interprets sensory input and directs motor, metabolic, and (possibly) psychological functions. This collection of nervous tissue could certainly be considered a primitive brain.

(Yes)

I belive its from 9 months to 1 year depending on where they live. This may not be the truest answer but I am studying fish and this is what I got for the answer the person that answered before me was making a joke out of a educational question. I'm very sorry for the rude answer you got earlier. Contact A scientist to find the true answer. Maybe Project Oceanology in Connecticut?

Their Claws or their shell.

I believe these are known as zooplankton.

No it is not safe you will get very very sick!

It's depending on how fresh the shrimps are and how they are prepared. If you go to sushi restaurants, you'd see raw shrimps served all the time.
