SHRIMP TANK - Heatwave



There has been a heatwave in Sydney and the temps have been reaching 32 degrees in my area. My second shrimp tank has no chiller and has been hitting 30 degrees C. I am hoping Darwin Red Nose Shrimp can tolerate such temperatures.
The other tank has the chiller constantly running but the fluctuations in temperature has caused 2 shrimp to become berried.
So far they seem happy. I bought an EHEIM feeder the other day and dropped a lot of pellets into my main tank. Spent all night vacuuming the gravel. They seem alright this morning. Seems all the cherry shrimp have cleaned it up overnight.
Not much of an update this week but January is going to be very busy for me.
