Malaya shrimp though not show quality
Sakura
Rili
Cherry Red Shrimp
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.

Malaya shrimp though not show quality
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)

I am not PERFECT but I am LIMITED EDITION !!! BIG Tank comes with BIG Responsibility...as they makan a lot of $$....lol
Thank you bros, indeed I have learnt something new
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 keep my firereds at around 28 degrees..still monitoring for any changes in color.
How's about feeder shrimp, ghost shrimp?
Pearl Blue Shrimp. Super hardy.
All neocardina shrimps i suppose , i kept my sakuras and chocolate shrimp at normal room temperature water , they have been surviving for 1 month already.i got lazy topping up water from evaporation, and switch off the fan . Haha
Haha. All pushing their shrimps to the limit
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.
I thought that temperature of water is one of the most important things for shrimps.
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.

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.
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

"... thanks will always be given for helping me..."
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
