    All would be able to survive except blue tiger shrimp, that has similar temperature requirements as CRS.

    As for babaulti and propinqua, those are tropical shrimps, would be able to thrive in our climate even if it's rather hot.

    You could also add in the various Sulawesi shrimp species into the list too, they come from natural lake habitats that average 30°C.

    I had enough nightmare dealing with fan cooled tank. Had a 5G tank before this and water evaporates like nobody's business and with our harsh weather, temperature kept going to 32°C so I had to constantly keep the fan on even at night. My water parameters were never stable due to constant top ups, many shrimps died as a result.

    CRS possible too. Tried with low grade CRS before and it works.
