Can these crayfish survive year-round in an outdoor pond?

Depends on where you live. Recommended Temperature range: 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit

Absolutely. It's very sturdy. However, the plastic is not very good insulation from extreme heat or cold. To keep fish outside even in mild winters, you'll need to insulate it by either burying it as far into the ground as you can manage or wrapping it in insulation. Also, it could get pretty warm if left in direct sunlight for many hours a day. I would recommend getting a cheap pool thermometer to monitor the temperature for the first year.

these shrimp have built in protection from drought. There may be no limit to how long they survive.

They would survive indoors if they had exposure to plenty of sun or light. In or near a window that gets plenty of sun. Don't over water because they are a cactus and too much will create root rot.

I am not positive but don't believe they would survive outside but in terrariums they would be fine.

I live in Michigan, so we don't have shrimp here, but it does fine catching small crawfish.

Spring or Fall if it is too hot or too cold the shrimp die. Keep them inside where the temperature is controlled. They need light but artificial light works

It doesn't say that it can be used in something as a large outdoor pond. Please contact the manufacturer before you buy this product. Thank You, Shop2themax

No. Since the plant is very watery it will freeze and die. If temps drop below 40F you must find a way to keep them warm by means of a green house or shelter.

I wouldn't keep it outside unless the temps were above freezing and it was sheltered from rain. The top is vented with that charcoal filter. Rain would add a lot of liquid to the veggie scraps. I suppose critters might try to get into it.

I highly doubt any traditional cactus from the Southwest would survive in wet conditions long term. They suffer rot. I am using this mix for potted cacti that I can bring inside during the winter, and rainstorms here in Maryland. You might want to look at the Prickly Pear cactus as one that can handle being out of the desert.

Alan, To answer you question, yes. Ours is 2nd. year on our pool patio. Could not be happier with this product, filled with beer, soda and lemonade most of the time. We do put it away in our pool shed in the winter. We are thinking of a second. Even kept coleslaw & patatoe salade cold.

As long as your temp doesn't drop below zero very much or for very long they will keep. Once they are tall and thick bunches it will be harder to kill. After last winter I'd say no, but most winters(I'm in VA) aren't too bad.

No. They are sensitive to both temperature extremes and lack of water. They are indoor plants. May live if you live in a temperate climate

Absolutely . I've had mine outside for over a year and live in Massachusetts .

I'm using it at my Koi pond and it works very well. It hit freezing yesterday morning and it worked fine. I will stop feeding soon as the water temp is in the 40's F. If you want to use it in below freezing temps I would recommend putting Lithium AA batteries in it. It's a great feeder.

In my area deep east Texas some do. I don't. If the temps get past freezing you could end up with a damaged pool. My pool has lasted 5 yrs because of taking it down every year. Once it was down all I did was fold it into itself with the outside facing up then covered it with a trap for the season. It's to heavy for just one person to move by themselves
