75-76 too cold for FRT?

[M3AN ONE]

What would be the potential long term effects if any of keeping a Fly river turtle in 75-76 degree water? I have an albino chines perch where 75 degrees is the upper limit of where they feel comfortable and they are known to die seemingly spontaneously in warmer water. Online shows 78 as the coldest they can tolerate.

I think it would be better to keep them in the recommended water temperature. Every source I saw said no less than 79 so I think you would be seriously pushing it.

Tolerating isn't living.

Keep things according to their needs, don't try and make them fit with one another's.

check out Kamp Kenan on youtube. He keeps of his all outside in ponds or tubs. Highly doubt his water is over 75 deg.

Not year round temps though.
