Do they need any kinda of special food or will the majority die off?

I just woke up this morning to snow in the 20L looked closer and relized it was moving. I do not have any intentions of raising them, I have only had the shrimp for 1 month in that tank. I counted aprox 35-45.

I think I'm going crazy. Hubby says I should have a dedicaded 250+ tank for prongs. Yup gotta love the hubby.

I read up on this before but don't have any experience with it. I believe they will be lunch unless in their own dedicated tank.

They'll die off, unless you have fish in there who would love the snack!

Look up April Kirkendoll's book "How to Raise and Train your Peppermint Shrimp". Step by step directions. The short of it - they need baby brine shrimp to start off.
