Does C. duplicareus do well at warmer temperatures?

Post by bekateen »

Hi All,

Does live well at temperatures at or slightly above 80F / 27C? Specifically, I'm curious to know if I can grow out juveniles in a tank that is heated to 80F but can get slightly warmer (84F) at times.

My adults and fry are currently in unheated tanks that are staying around 77F-78F on a daily basis, but I'd like to thin out the tanks and move the fry, but the only place I have to move them is the heated tank. Haven't moved them yet because I'd like to know if it's safe.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

I've kept them at warmer temps as you suggest without a problem.
