Hi there,

So I recently acquired a small tank that I am planning on turning into a shrimp tank. This aquarium isn't going to be heated, so I am just wondering if besides ghost shrimp, there are any other shrimp suitable for a tank kept at room temperature?

Thanks!

you could try Cherry's ....
cheap for trial and error purposes..

I've done cherries and crystals at room temperature... I guess it really depends how warm your room is going to be.....

yeah cherries will do fine at room temp. I kept a few in a jar for like 6-8 months before transferring them back to the main tank. Amano shrimp will be ok too.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I think I will give cherries a try!

just make sure you dont leave the room window open at night by mistake or something cause a tempurature swing will most likely kill your shrimpies

I've kept both cherries and ghost shrimp in a jar without a heater before as well. They should be fine as long as your room doesn't get too cold.

Try red nose shrimp as well, i think they are pretty easy to take care and hardy.

Ghost, Cherries, and CRS and CBS like lower temps too.
