can long can cherry shrimps breathe out of water

1 answer

Cherry shrimp, like many other aquatic species, are primarily adapted to living in water and rely on their gills to breathe. While they can survive out of water for short periods, they are not capable of breathing air as terrestrial animals do. Generally, cherry shrimp can survive for a few hours to possibly a day out of water depending on environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. However, prolonged exposure to air can lead to stress and ultimately be detrimental to their health. It’s best to keep them in a proper aquatic environment to ensure their well-being.
