temperature effect on the colour of sakura shrimp

[carlfsk]

Do you guys think the temperature of the water will affect the redness of the sakura shrimp?

I am now thinking whether to install fan for my sakura shrimp tank. The temperature so far ranges from 28 - 30C, and I have found 3 dead shrimps so far. I am wondering has it anything to do with the temperature.

Also, I am wondering, as above, will a cooler temperature enhance the red of the shrimp. At least for now, the shrimp still look as red as when they are in a chilled tank.

Bro, it still best to have a fan as we might not know this day the weather are crazy and might affect the temperature. As for me I have a fan for my 1ft sakura and temperature is around 25-26 degree, keeping for 1 year with few causality.

Hey bro !

I noticed sakura shrimps generally like cooler temperatures... a fan to lower the temperature to 26-28 will be great ! I have sakuras in 1 ft cube tank at 26-27 degrees with a fan.... very very few casualties... and they are breeding. But i noticed my nano tank in my room with aircon on @ night are breeding like crazy... alot of the females are berried ! Shrimps also love good water qualiity... make sure you have good clean water to promote good colour and breeding ! I have 2 gex HOF filled with biohome, ceramic rings and eheim substrate pro... can see that the shrimps love the clean water

generally, shrimps look better at lower temperature. they also breed well.

cheers acit

Thanks guys. Cos till now, I didn't see any difference in their colour since I moved them to a non-chilled tank. Thus was curious.

Maybe will add a fan.

Total ammonia is comprised of two components: un-ionized ammonia (NH3) and ionized ammonia (NH4+). Un-ionized ammonia is extremely toxic to fish whereas ionized ammonia is not. The proportion of un-ionized to ionized ammonia shifts in relation to pH and water temperature. As pH or temperature increases, more of the ammonia shifts to the un-ionized, toxic form. If you bio-filter isn't stable and PH of the water and temperature towards the higher side, it might be a stress factor to all shrimps and ammonia is the no 1 killer in aquarium.
