	do some plants prefer higher temps?
moondog Moderator The Hobnob-lin Posts: 2676 Kudos: 1038 Votes: 4366 Registered: 30-Sep-2002	i've noticed that my anubias seems to be doing better than normal now that the temps are more summer-like around here, but that my water sprite is a little brown-ish. just wondering if plants have a preferred temp range like fish, or is something else going on here?

It may be what's happening with your plants. I could never keep Watersprite, I live in the tropics and without heater my water temp is year round between 28-30oC. My Anubias on the other hand do fantastic. Discus keepers are usually very selective on the plants they use because the high temps needed for Discus just don't suit all plants. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
