Low 70's is fine. Bullheads are very hardy, but don't use a heater.

i kept bullhead even in 29 30 celsius degree for some part of time and they were fine

350 for 30-35 minutes should do nicely.

Otherwise, just keep them at room temp. They will tolerate high and low water temps.

Niblit, did you happen to catch him at a rest stop off of 80? There is a pond there that has literally thousands of baby bullheads, and it freezes over in the winter.

If he's been doing great for that long in the temperature you keep don't worry about it.

They do perfectly fine in tropical temperatures, just expect them to eat 2x as much.
