My cherries were breeding when the tank was at 32ºC over the summer heat wave! lol
I now have over a hundred in the tank, must get rid of some soon, they are everywhere!

I don't have that kind of temperature by choice. Even with the air condition switch on 8 to 10 hours a day, the aquarium don't cool down, I have got a big lounge....

Good to ear that. I was a bit worry peoples take me for a liar. After all breeding temp 23C, 25C they should stop to breed...
Just wanted to share.

Crystal Red need this type of temperature and Sulawesi need around 28ºC

Cherry shrimp actually have a very broad range of temperatures at which they are happy and will breed. The guide is usually 65-85, but as you have found they are happy at higher temperatures than this as well. In fact most Neocaridina species will live happily at higher temperatures, I keep all of my shrimp tanks at 27 degrees C, as lower than this and breeding slows.
