I want to get some Amano shrimp and\or Cherrry shrimp to eat the hair algae in my tank.
My main question is what is the temperature ranges that I can successfully keep them in? More specifically, will they die from overheating if I put them in my tank!
I normally have my heater set to 26deg.C
I say normally because for the last fortnight we have had glorious weather in England, and as a result I have unplugged the heater.
So my tank now varies from about 22deg.C up to 28deg.C
Most of the time it is around 23-5deg.
If this is too high a temperature, then I guess I would need to invest in a cooler to maintain an exact temperature (or wait until Autumn before buying shrimp
), how much would one of these cost? where would I get one? Do I have any other options? (my tank water column is apprx 160l\42US gallons).
