Hi,

Ummm, It might be a good idea for you to do the search......
The search button works well on this site.

were did you get your tigers from? by the way your tigers, bees and crystal reds might cross breed.

i'd make sure your tank is FULLY CYCLED. shrimp (and fish) of any variety are sensitive to ammonia. they will die. test for ammonia ASAP.

plus, given the number of shrimp you have, you may not have the established biofilter to support them, which may result in deaths. i hope you at least have plants to help the tank cycle faster. either that or do more water changes.

re: temp, shrimp do fine at room temp as far as i'm aware. they don't necessarily require a higher temp; their metabolism goes up in warmer temps tho (they eat more).
