Hello,
I was drip acclimating a Skunk Cleaner shrimp and when I was done, I plopped him into my tank. I realized that the water cooled a lot while he was in the bucket. It drop down to 76 degrees and when I added him the tank is at 81 degrees. It also turns out it was carrying eggs, even though it was alone in its tank. Will he be okay from the sudden tank temp increase?
 
Don't worry just keep it stable. Both temps are within the acceptable range or near. All you can do now is wait and keep things stable

The temp increase under 10 degrees he can manage with no problem.
