mayphly Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 The good news is that I had 5 berried crs and goldens all give birth around the same time. The bad news is that I just noticed that the heater became unplugged and the temp was showing 59 degrees. Unfortunately I lost all my fire reds that I also kept in the same tank. The good news is that most of the crs and golden babies appear to have survived and I only found 3 dead adults after plugging in the new heater and resetting the temps. I guess no more playing lazer light with the dog in the shrimp room. Blue Crown Aquatic Trade, aquariumlover10 and CharlesWex 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibikaie Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Tanks tend to stay cooler than ambient air temperature. Mine are around 66-68 F and no, the room is closer to 72 (parents are elderly and from the semitropics, I do NOT want to know what our heating bill looks like).

Dendrobatez Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 My house is always 75 and the tanks are usually around 73. The house I grew up in was an ancient farmhouse and would frequently get under 50 in the winter, can't imagine trying to raise shrimp there lol mayphly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
