Duane has probably forgotten more than you will ever know with regards to keeping cichlids.
And there is no need to keep a FH at 86F, or anywhere near that temp. I kept mine at 78-80F for years, and never had an issue with that temp range. In fact, at higher temps, bacteria flourishes, which is why one often sees warm water diseases such as Flavobacterium columnare aka "duck lips" in FH tanks.

One of a few different FH that I have owned over the years.
No kids, that's not what's inside the hump of a FH. That's why grandma calls the big ones a water kok. 
And from a past post of mine …
Below is a pic where the nuchal hump in a Flowerhorn was sliced open. That pretty much ends the debate.
