	Gold Barb Temps
Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003	Just wondering what's the highest temp you've had your gold barbs @for a period of say....5-10 days. Their profile puts them @a max temp of 75F, I might want to try pushing it to 86-88F.....for a few days, and with added surface agitation via bubble wall....Opinions please . ^_^

In my reading on the matter I had come across the theory that most parasites (not including ich) couldnt' really stand temps higher than 86F. Since I hadn't had meds @the time I was posting this I wanted to @least try increased temps. shrug . Tank is back down to 76-78ish now . ^_^
