Optimum temperature for Breeding CRS

[Guppy77]

Hi Guys, am very curious, i have a chiller for my CRS tank, may i know what is the optimum temperature for breeding CRS? currently my chiller is set at 25 degree and will kick in when it reaches 26, is this too high for breeding? or you guys think should be lower, also does having carpet mosses and plants induces breeding?

thanks!

IMHO: 23 Celsius
Please note that other factor do matter too.

thanks pal for the quick reply, i see, currently i have 9 CRS, will be getting more, few meshes of mini fissidens, will be getting more plant to plant the corner of my 2 feet 20 gallon tank, so far they seem ok, eating and moving well, will see how it goes and hopefully have good results. Thanks!

anyone have more sharing of optim um temperature for breeding shrimp do let me know too ok?

thanks!

I think the temperature is alright.
But sometime the temperature in the tank and chiller varies.

thanks Seah Seng!

My GEX chiller have a setting to calibrate the temperature.
If the chiller dont have such feature you can do manual calibration by using termo in your tank.

Possible to calibrate for hailea hs28a?

For my Hailea 150A, Press and hold for a few seconds, the up and down arrows together. Can adjust +- 1.5deg

am using Gex Chiller too, when you say calibrate the temperature, are you referring to the external prob?

[Yulbrainer]

Calibrate means you set the temp in the tank with termo, and set that number to the chiller as current temp.
When i got my chiller the current temp is 2 degree above.

I tried breeding them at temp 26.

Hi guys thanks, yes i did not calibrate the chiller as by default its already very accurate, i set at 25 and the chiller will kick in at 26

thanks!

To me 25c is good enough as my crs are breeding. Therefore, I do not intend to reduce the temperature. Any lower will kick in more and equate to higher utilities bill.

I kept mine at 24 - 25 degrees and they are breeding well.
