[CARE] CRS vs. Temperature

Hatching Days VS. Temperature
CRS is best keeping in 22- 25 degree (72-76 F).
A higher temperature let them grow faster.
If a CRS with Egg, in 25 degree needs around 25 Days for hatching eggs -> frys , but lower 22 degree will give birth with longer days 27-28 days.
So, I think around 23-24 degree is suitable for CRS.

CRS VS. Hot wave
CRS can survive max 80-81 but 82 may be will cause of lost.
Because the high temp, it will give lower rate of oxygen dissolve in water.
The best solution is using chiller, or at least a / some cpu fans to blow.
And also, turn the air pump with white oxygen air stone higher to balance the loss of oxygen.
I tried my tank using a computer fan keep blowing and keep around 78-80 F in San Jose(90F +), and add lots of bubble for air.
No obvious death at all.
