Lowest temperature you've kept CRS?

Hi

What's the lowest water temperature that you have seen CRS thrive and breed?

Curling of the body - what's this behaviour about?

What does it mean when shrimp (e.g. my CRS) curl their tails right under themselves, so that their whole body forms a tight 'U' shape?

Finley
