breeding temperature

[ArcheNova]

What do you guys think is the maximum breeding temperature for Cherrys? Is there a limit like the "25°C-limit" (78°F) of CRS? (I'm wondering because of the upcoming european summer-heat (For me 32°C (88°F) IS heat INDEED)) :cool:

Thanks for your support...

Hi,
For all shrimp the usual temp range with be 22 to 28 deg. If you can keep the tank temperature below 28 you should be quite safe.

My tank is set at 26.6 C and varies +/- 0.5 C and the Cherry Shrimp seem happy and are breeding

I ever bred Cherry shrimps at 27 to 28°C, that was with a fan.

However, CRS requires lower temperature to mate, hatch and for shrimplet development at 24 to 26°C. There is not much chance (more towards zero chance) for any large number in a brood to grow up at 28°C or higher for Crystal Red Shrimp.
