    Dear Bros,

    Please poll which shrimp is the most the most hardy. The ideal shrimp should be able to survive in a higher temperature environment of 28 degrees.

    I seems to be doing well with the Red Rili.

    I have placed sakura, Red Rili and Cherry Red Shrimp together with the yellow, orange and green forms of Cherry Red Shrimp.

    The survivor in the tank are the Red Rili.

    Re: Most hardy shrimp

    Three of them belong to the same family...the difference is colour and individual preference

    All of them can be kept at non chilled tank, 28-29 degrees.

    For hardyness, my vote goes to Yamato and malayan.. especially the bigger ones are very hardy.


    Check out my Blog on planted tank, good for newbies ( i am lazy to retype all the info i know, so please click and read below link... i hope you don't fall asleep while reading)

    Re: Most hardy shrimp

    i find that different colour different susceptibility to diseases and poor water conditions, so I'm going to say that there seems to be a difference in terms of hardiness within the species. Having said that, those three up there about the same to me.

    I would consider that as nothing. Mine has never changed for more than a year.

    Re: Most hardy shrimp

    The joke is that when I was pouring in all my resources:

    1) Fan
    2) Good filter
    3) Mosura food

    My sakura did not do well.

    Now, I turned off the fan, use a lousy filter (as my good filter broken down) and do not use specialised food, the sakura are doing better, they are reproducing.

    Re: Most hardy shrimp

    I thought that temperature of water is one of the most important things for shrimps.

    Re: Most hardy shrimp

    If ghost shrimps was a choice it will be ghost shrimps, last time got a few in my pleco tank with super strong water flow, they seriously died of old age after a long long time!

    If I say I got some tank with cherry and Malayan shrimps reaching peak of 30D and still can see them getting berried?

    Not those shrimps that cost more then $25 onwards thou. One bro I know here told me when he was keeping bds (or was it bkk) using fan. It didn't do well at all.

    Re: Most hardy shrimp

    In the summer the temperature in my fish house reached 30C ( I have no aircon), so the water in the tanks on the top rack reached 28C. The Sakuras and RCSs were breeding like crazy, but the CRSs in the middle row (temp was 27C) had problem. The females berried up but only a couple of shrimplets have survived. The black crystals in the bottom row (temp 25C) had no issues, they were breeding nicely. Since the water cooled down the my CRS population started to bloom again.

    Re: Most hardy shrimp

    Ha .. this is interesting.

    Could that be the food ?
    What food do you feed your shrimp ?

    Re: Most hardy shrimp

    Is bare tank make stressed shrimps? Yamato in this case.
    I had a bad water param with small gravel and my shrimp are just as happy as they can be. Moved to a good param bare tank.
    They all died one by one

    I thought Red Rili shrimps are much more sensitive than Cherry Reds?

    I am interested in getting some Rilis, but my previous batch died after a few months (I did not use fan or chiller). Do they need low temperature and any special care?

    Re: Most hardy shrimp

    Actually if the water conditions are stable and the shrimp are healthy and properly acclimatised, I find that they can take up to 30 degrees Celsius for some days, and don't require fan nor chiller. Rilis seem quite ok to me in terms of sensitivity compared to cherry reds
