| I heard that you have to keep Sulawesi cardinal shrimp at 28 Degrees and any lower than that and they die, is this true? Surely a lake fluctuates in temperature overnight in Sulawesi to lower than that?? The reason i ask is that i bought some Sulawesi Cardinal shrimp and they died in a couple of weeks.. All other water parameters were good...pH 7.9, Temp 28, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 20ppm. Any ideas? I keep CRS & breed them with no problems at all, but the pH and temp are much lower.. | |

| A bit late coming but new information states that they need a relatively low temperature of 24-26'c as aposed to the 28-32 previously recomended | |
