Do Red Cherry Shrimp Need A Heater?

Great video

I have some red cherry shrimp in a tank with no heater ATM, doing great. But I want to add a heater to go slightly higher so I can add the community fish (112L). What's the best way to do it if I don't have a spare tank for them. Can I do it slowly over a week for example?

I live in the uk, so during winter temperature can go down below 10° u think my shrimps will survive?

Would you say thay can live in an outdoor minipond with the temperature swings?

Thank you, good video!

Great info as I’m looking to keep shrimp .Also had bad experience with heater that failed , boiling hundreds of £££ worth of fish . Thanks again

is there a way not to end up with a bunch of shrimp i only want to keep 5-10 max at all times

But when you have a tropical tank? You do need a filter….just not sure what kind of heaters are safe for the shrimp as the filters ( I did change my regular filter to a sponge one .

Your videos are very helpful💯

So I have a small fish tank which I plan on having a few shrimp in, I'm from Ireland so its similar to the UK. My room has a range of about 14-21celcius, in the summer it's around 17-23. Would the water in the tank be warm enough? I ask this because I don't know if the temp in a tank is the same as in the room

Glad to see this! I have my RCS colony in a 10 gallon with the Aquarium Co-Op heater, which was a huge upgrade from my heater which just died. My shrimp were kept at 78 bc they lived with my betta. When he passed last month, I gradually lowered the temp to 73. Everyone is still eating and breeding. Seems a good balance for the RCS, Amanos, mystery snails, and Nerite snails. I considered not heating, but the room temp fluctuates wildly on the west side of the house

This was definitely one of the things I was most concerned about before I got my first shrimp last year. I don't heat any of my tanks (our house is kept at 74-75 through winter and around 76-78 in summer - yay, southern Arizona!). I don't keep fish that require warmer than my tanks stay throughout the year, and I didn't want to try shrimp if they would suffer for the "low" temperature. I was assured they'd do fine, and they have. They breed very well in all of my tanks. I LOVE watching them, so I was so glad to be able to add them.

what temperature is the tank behind you as i have neons and cherries in together as well

great channel mate , easy to follow advice which is great as im new to shrimp , new subby aswell , keep up the good work
