Harlequin Shrimp question.....

[spw4949]

Will they do okay with a water temp of 72 deg. f? I'm thinking of adding a pair to my seahorse tank & the temp is at a steady 72 deg f......

You know Steve, these shrimp live in the Galapagos Islands who have temperatures in the 60's sometimes. They're very widely distributed, so it makes a person think they tolerate a wide array of conditions.

my heater broke and my tank dipped to 74 {it is normally 78-80} my harlequin was fine.

When I got my Harlequins shipped to me there was a problem with shipping and it was delayed 3 extra days. I checked the bag temp when it got to me and it was about 68. You should be ok.

I agree. Seventies certainly is fine.
