Shrimps and high temperature

[hadjici2]

I would like to get some Amano shrimps for my planted aquarium but due to the climate of my country and the fluorescent lamps, my aquarium temperature reaches a temperature of 35 degrees celcius. I can't find any chillers anywhere in my country and my tank is sittuated in a cool place. Do Amano shrimps tollerate such high temperatures?

The reason for wanting shrimps is because I don't want to have any fish since they will not be able to withstand the high temperatures. Also the main reason is for the shrimp to eat some of the hair algae my aquarium has.

My questions are:

1. Do Amano shrimps tollerate such high temperatures of 35 degrees celcius?
2. What do you recomend to do so as to cool the aquarium?
3. Do you think big yellow snails will also eat the algae? Can they tollerate the high temperatures?
4. Are there any fish that can be kept in suck high temperature aquariums? (Gapies?)

Thanks...

i don't know what 35C equates to, but my water recently went to 85F for several days due to my air conditioner breaking, and my amano survived. don't know what would have happened long term though.

35C is about 95F
from what I have been able to gather amano shrimpp would probably not do too well in that kind of heat.
I'd think about species from slow moving or shallow waters in tropical regions.
( Like I bet it gets really warm where bettas naturlly live... although the ones you buy would be tank bred and have never seen those temps... hmmmm)
What is your country?
I wonder what lives in shallow waters near you?
Of you google DIY Chiller aquarium. I bet you would find some info.Have you tried the DIY forum here?
I seem to recomend this site to everyone, but I can't help it.
FishProfiles.com
I wonder if you can search the profiles by temperature.... Or find a high temp fish and use the "find similar" or "find compatible" features

My tanks are quite warm ATM, around 84F, and all the shrimp are just fine. I don't know if any fish/shrimp/plants will do very well long-term in temps over 90F, that's awfully hot. If temperatures where you are are often this warm, IMO it would be a good idea to invest in a chiller.
