Making some vase tanks as gifts and my friends live in different situations. Hot apartments, cool houses etc…
I want to be able to tell them a temperature range which is safe for the shrimp. I was thinking it was 72 to 82 but maybe it could go a little lower or higher.
Most people here in the North East will dial down in the 60's at night so didn't know if that would be a problem.
Thanks for your help.

My tank is always around 80f
Re: What is a safe temperature range for our shrimp?
My tank sees mid to upper 60s in the winter, low 70s in summer.

Read the table and the first paragraph. They definitely don't need a heater.

Room temp, if you have a small tank then a heater might overheat and kill your little friends they can live in water from 60-86f ish I think.
