Hi all,
I've been setting up some nano's in the past little while, setting up for different inverts etc; and one of the things I'd pretty much taken for granted, was that my red cherries would breed to some degree in my 12 litre (12x8x8) no co2, no liquid carbon tank.
It's unheated and open topped, as such I'd estimate the ambient temperature to float between 18-20 degrees, though i'll test this more accurately tonight.
I've noticed they are active, not whizzing about but explore and do their thing; but will breeding be compromised at that temp?
One of the things I love about shrimp are the shrimplets, so if there's no breeding; I may have to look into a glass cover and nano heater.
