Can I keep a fresh water shrimp in cold water?

Question

I have 2 fresh water shrimp and don't want them in my tropical fish tank can i put them in with my cold water goldfish? I've had them in cold water for three days cos i had a sick Betta. Will they be alright in there for life?

Answer 1

how cold exactly? if its anywhere near 15°C... DEAD! else... they'll be ok...

Answer 2

no as soon as they're put in they'll die I don't what the problem they need to be in tropical waters or they'll die got it

Answer 3

Ghost Shrimp would be fine in cooler water, but most others will need tropical temperatures-- they may not show it now, but they (unless they're Ghost Shimp) are probably already suffering.  Also, I would not be surprised if your Goldfish ate the shrimp-- they may be peaceful, but they'll put virtually anything in their mouths.
