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
