I have a 52 litre shrimp tank in my study, but this summer I've had some serious temperature issues, even with the fans going, and I've pretty much lost half of them. The issue is twofold: this is not an unusual summer here (Italy) so I can't write it off as an unusual heatwave, and I will be having soon a large discus tank in this same room, which is not going to help with the temperature.
So I decided to get a shoal of boraras brigittae instead. I will plant the tank quite heavily before I get them, and let the grow out before getting the fish.
Now here comes the question: chemistry-wise are the boraras going to be fine with the shrimps' water? Can I keep the maintenance as it was for them? I want to keep the surviving shrimp as far as they will go in the hopes that they will recover.
Asking here because both shrimps and fish are aquascaping favourites, so there should be plenty of people with direct experience.
