Neocaridina species of shrimp will live in water a few degrees above freezing for short periods of time, but will thrive at 60 and above. They stop breeding around 55-60 degrees.

They can live at that temp for sure, but I would knock it back a bit. I find they live longer at lower temps. I generally keep mine at 68-75. Plus, shrimp like well oxygenated water, and you don't have a filter in there agitating the water at all. The warmer the water the less dissolved oxygen is available.
