i wouldnt keep a cichla in anything below 75
70 is way to low
cichla prefer water that is 80-84F

correct!!!!! lol and if ur heater goes up to 86 then so do it if you have cichla cause they do even better in 86 degree water... they get more vibraint and aggressive.... it makes them calmer when you are cleaning the tank ect....

Peacockbass are very sensitive to temps. That is also the reason why their range in FL is limited to the Southern part of FL only.

P. Bass starts dying below 60 degrees.
The P. Bass in Florida are non-native fish brought in by the State from S. America to control the exploding population of non-native cichlids that have proliferated in its waterways from accidental release from fish farms during floods and not so accidental release by aquarium hobbyists.
The P. Bass was designated as a SportsFish by the State to help them get established. This part of strategy worked so much it has taken over some lakes...It's a matter of time before they take over the Everglades....Could be good for some not so good for others....
That's what my research indicates. Google Florida Peacock Bass and you may dig up more about it.

I forgot to include that the Florida P. Bass have extended their march into Citrus County. About an hour drive North of Tampa.
They are no longer limited to South Florida. Citrus County is known for freshwater springs that produces water out of the ground with more or less constant temp above 70 fahrenheit.
Give it a few more thousand years or less and it will probably find a warm water highway to Alabama and learn to migrate North and South to adapt to the changing temps like some fish do ;) .
