Amano Shrimp Temperature: Ideal Water Temp
Ideal: 65-80°F (18-27°C)
The Amano Shrimp is a coldwater / subtropical species. Aim for the middle of its range, around 73°F, and keep it steady — sudden swings stress fish more than a stable temperature.
This species tolerates cooler water, so it can often be kept without a heater in a room near 65-80°F, though a heater still improves stability.
