Hey everyone,
I have a planted tank with shrimps of many kinds, assassin snails, Harlequin Rasboras, and celestial pearl danios. I would like to encourage shrimp reproduction (higher temps) but not to the detriment of fish health.
I know fish shouldn't be kept to the extremes of their temp range, but shrimps on the other hand should. Usually their max liveable temp is 30°C, the given max temp is for best reproduction rates.
To what temperature should I set the tank?
For reference, here's seriouslyfish on these fish:
21 - 28°C for Harlequins
20 - 26°C for Celestial pearls
And random internet searches for inverts:
25 - 27°C for RCS
20 - 23°C for assassin snails
21 - 27°C for amanos
23 - 25°C for most of my other shrimps
