bcwcat22 Big Fish Posts: 395 Kudos: 314 Votes: 34 Registered: 16-Jul-2005	I have a South American tank consisting of a bolivian ram, bloodfin tetra's and panda cory's. I keep the temp at 80F or 26-27C is that ok or should I lower or raise it? "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man" Simpsons

Panda cories prefer the zone of 71-76 degrees F, and the other fish would appreciate somewhat cooler temps as well. Slowly bringing the water down to 76 degrees would be just fine. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Panda cories preferred temps on all the sites I looked at are also listed up to 80-82F along with the bloodfins. So really that temp isn't so high but a temp a few degrees lower instead of in the highest ranges of the fish preference would probably be better.
