Here in the Philippines its quite hot, so i have no idea what's the temperature is but my bgk is ok. Heat also helps increase their metabolism which helps digest food faster.

I had my tanks at 86-88 for the past two weeks before I finally caught it. I have a lot of circulation in the tank though, so oxygen levels are high. My BGK never showed any signs of stress. Seemed quite happy/active actually. Got the temp back down now though to 82 - 84.
