Memphis118 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 As title states, what is your optimal temp for PRL CRS? I heard they do best around 70-74f so I just wanted to see what your tank is set at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClownPlanted Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I keep my crs and prl tanks at 72 and they absolutely thrive. Tons of berried and babies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Memphis118 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher the temp they are more active and grow faster. But when talking about the temp difference between 70 to 73 which is what is recommended for them the difference is very little. I have always kept mine at 72 and since they do well at that temp I have no reason to change it. Memphis118 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRon Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 From my experience the higher the temperature the higher the mortality rate for PRL’s. During the summer months in Germany. My Aquariums reach temps between 24-26*C. 75-78*F causes my shrimp to grow fast and die fast. To me it is not important for the male shrimp. However; the female shrimp are affected from this. I think they do not have enough time to properly produce their female organs. Any other time besides summer. My Aquarium temps are 21*c 70*F rwong2k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
