jonthefishguy I think we are past that if you dont have anything useful to add please dont!! That comes off very rude.
you can acclimate them slowly over about a week by slowly increase the salt content of the water daily that they are in. If you are in a emergency thing where the comet hasnt eaten you can add one or 2 to the tank just watch them because if the comet doesnt eat them they will die in the tank and can cause a spike in ammonia.

thanks for the help. is a 10gl going to be big enough for the shrimp, or do i need to go larger?

 

[michaeltx]

a 10 gallon would be fine. just dont overload it with shrimp.
