How to prepare eggshells for shrimps! (Easiest way to add calcium for shrimps)

[@bentleytelles7295]

Instead of boiling can i put it in the microwave for 2 minutes

Baking it is better

Hmm, I might have to try that at some point! I’ve always done it this way for a couple of years, but do you find an extra benefit from baking?

How often should I add calcium to my shrimp tanks? I use those calcium shells...thank you

@@AquahavenChicago I just wonder if you lose any calcium or anything else from boiling it. Baking it doesn't take anything away from it. I know most things you boil the minerals seep out into the water.

@@sheilak9915 I’ve seen multiple comments about baking them. Ive never personally tried baking but would for sure make for an interesting experiment in the future👌
