I've never heard of actual cold water ones.

But a few neocaradina species can thrive in cooler waters.

 

yes but not designed for goldfish bowls / tanks in unheated conservatories.

60-65f minimum i suggest.

Pets at Home are selling them at £5.00 each and I had never seen them before in cold water.

 

sounds like they've mucked up... as usual.

 

Are they not just ghost shrimps? (Palaemonetes spp, I think, according to google). They can survive in cold, warm, marine and freshwater. They're the feeder-type shrimps

 

They only last a few weeks in fresh water though.

 

Good point... I've only ever handled them for feeding! However, do take this into account Matt :whistling2:

hi ashmash do you no where i can get these shrimps from years ago i could get them from where i was working at 5p each now ive been every place poss to get some for my turtles ?

River Shrimp. Deffo brackish.

It depends where you live.
I can get them in the shop and intend to create a tank specially for them.
Or
waterworld on the m25 at Enfield freezywater (J24) I think. do them but they sell out quickly.

£ 1.50 for a bag of about 100 I think.

I am in East London (Chingford) and its River Shrimp I am talking about.

 

Yes its river shrimp. I found the last 2 dead today, water was too cold now i think. 7 or 8 months in a tub of rainwater, not bad.
