Boraras Brigittae Temperature

[hotweldfire]

Hi All,

I have a handful of chili rasbora as well as a couple of merah and sundadanio axelrodi in a 125l CO2 injected tank with 100w light. They share it with 5-10 A grade CRS and a lot of fire red cherries and some sakura. Also 4 otos, about 10 pygmy cories and some assassin snails.

I've been getting into selective breeding recently (cherries were originally very low grade) and would like to reduce the temperature to benefit the shrimp. I'd also like to start breeding some rarer shrimp - golden bees probably but if I can get some (in London) taiwan bees. It's currently around 25.5c but fluctuates sometimes from 24-26.5c. Thinking about reducing it to 22-23c.

Will the fish tolerate this temperature? What temperature do people keep their boraras in?

From my knowledge, since b. brigittae is a fish from indonesia, it should require a temperature in the higher range. Mine seem to be fine with the 29-30 degrees celcius so far. Though they've been through 26-27 degrees celsius in my tank during the cooler months.
