Sebastian Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 im thinking about getting a few yellow shrimps. are they the same type as red cherry shrimps? would a 29°C tank be too warm for them to live and breed in? cheers sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baccus Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yellows are a colour varient of the common red cherry so if you mix them they will happily cross breed, they should like a 29 degree tank and should grow and breed quickly, however a warmer tank with quicker growth can also mean they burn themselves out quicker and die earlier. Its a bit of a trade off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan013 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hey mate I have yellow cherries, I have them do best in 24deg and have had them down around 19, I personally wouldnt put them in water so warm as yours, They wont be as happy, And I dont think they would breed and live very long.

goneself Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I use cherries as feeders, have never used a heater and they happily get on with it..29 is about as hot as you can go,but you're just using unnecessary power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
