I'm wondering what's the highest temperature you've kept your Cherry's at? I wanted to know if 88F would be suitable.

I think that 88 degrees would be too high for even some fish
I keep mine at 75 degrees but I'm still new so shrimp so don't take my word on it

86 degrees, but for a short time only. They didn't seem to mind

I have some in a half whiskey barrel in my back yard. I'm not sure on the temperature, but the high was over 90F for a couple week and they did just fine. The water was noticably warmer than my tanks(~78F).

I've kept Red Cherry Shrimp outside since last summer.
The temperature has been from 3 to 32°C (37.4-89.6°F).
Not all the shrimps survived the winter, but some did and they've been breeding again this summer.

What did you keep them in?

I keep them in 65 litre plastic containers on my balcony.
