Deano85 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Does anyone know which shrimp will do well in an unheated tank? Amano, cherries? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cainechow Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 What temp does your tank sit at? It isn't the problem of having "cool" water usually, but swings in temperature from night to day that really really stresses out shrimps.

jvision Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I've raised hundreds of Cherry shrimp in unheated 10gal tanks - a larger tank will just hold the temp that much more consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGuppyGirl Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 +1 on Jvision's post, I've kept cherries and their color morphs in unheard tanks where the room temp is aroun 72-76F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 20-22 C seems to be the sweet spot for all my tiger shrimps. The start to get stressed above that. Although like Caine mentioned you don't want temperature swings with them. Neo's (RCS etc;) should do fine regardless. I believe Frank (Ebi-Ken) had them outside in a pond during winter but that was in Vancouver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
