FriendlyLoach Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hey everyone, So I want to do a sort of nano shrimp tank. I am new to shrimp but not new to aquariums. I want to try red cherry shrimp because I have a lot of ponds and tanks they could go in. I wanted to use this bowl for them, however I am worried about temperature. My house is very old and has 0% insulation, and in winter gets about 50 degrees. Also it swings a bit, about 5-20 degree swings. I know cherry shrimp are okay with cold, but not temp swings. Do any of you know a way I could set this one gallon bowl up without a heater? Or a heater I could use for this size tank? Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 My cherry shrimp overwinter here in NC (10 degrees F in winter and 100 degrees F in summer) in a tub set in the ground in my backyard. And they multiply like crazy, so I suspect they can handle temperature changes, but that is just a guess on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shkote Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I don't keep heaters in any of my tanks with shrimp in them. The temperatures fluctuate quite a bit and I've never had an issue. I would love to see how yours turns out. I love the look of nano shrimp bowls and still plan on doing one when I find a large enough bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyLoach Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Okay, thank you so much! I will go ahead. @Lynze I found mine at a big repurposing store, but I would recommend goodwill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
