No fan, no chiller, no shrimp?

I am having a planted tank (no fan) with some yamato shrimps. They are doing great. I just wonder are there any other type of shrimp that is suitable in the planted tank that can survive without chiller or fan.

Thanks.

yes, cherry. i keep them with just a sponge filter.

malayan shrimps also do well without fans

Chiller are mainly used for CRS if talking about shrimp.

yea.. agree with boonpeiu.. but many people only go for chiller if they intend to get any grade like S and Higher..
for me A and B i rather use fan.

cherries, malayan, classic CRS.
all of the above can sustain hardy temperature like 29 degrees.
haha.

i think classical CRS 29 degrees abit hard leh
no fan for singapore temp for classic CRS is near good game

i used to keep CRSs c grade type like 3yrs back
bought 5 pc n they r like dead without fan
in an established planted tank

i would say at most 28C for grade C CRS. dun think they can breed inside.. but they will be able to survive if you provide them with an airpump.. as higher the temp is the lower the oxygen level is in the tank's water.

i think 29 degrees is quite dangerous temp for CRS

last time when i tried out CRS
one CRS C grade( or even lousier d grade maybe?) can cost $12-15
12 if u buy more 15 if u buy one pc...


cherry last time 1 dollar one

after those CRS passed away i dare not go back shrimp
since need chiller n chiller is not cheap for maintanence

but i guess if doing no fan just go for malayan as they r CHEAP and HARDY!

and they have different morphs
got blue, red, green, grey, transparent.!!!quite iteresting also

What is your water temperature? With lamp on and without lamp on?
