I was wondering what temps people are keeping their peacock bass at. I always thought that they were happy between 78 to 82, like most tropicals, but I've heard that people are keeping them higher than that. I've had two of them growing like weeds for a couple of months with temps between 80 and 82, but I want conditions to be as ideal as possible.

Any thoughts would be appreciated...

for cichla under 12" 86-87

for my bigger bass usually 82-84...but sometimes a few degrees lower and a few higher depending on the season.
