can a jag tolerate this temp?

[jagsandpits]

all 7 of my cichlids which include a Cuban cichlid,jag an dempsey are in a holding tank were they will be for about 24 hours or so. its tight ther isn't much room so I have them in the dark so that they are more relaxed. the temp is at 75 to slow them down and basically stop them from being so aggressive. my question is can they tolerate 75 degrees for 24 without any health problems? the temp didn't go to 75 fast it was a gradual thing so there was no shock. someone tell me if this temp is too low please

At 75 they will be fine. I've had cichlids survive high 60s for short periods without it being detrimental

Not all, they will be fine. I'd watch the Cuban more than the jag in regards to temp changes. Jags are very resilient fish.

The average temp of Lake Managua (where the name managuense comes from) is 77'F, so mid 70sF is a perfect general maintenance temp.
I agree with Crazy mike about the tetracanthus, they prefer higher temps.

Yeah as long as the drop was gradual should be no problem at all.

75 is just fine... I keep most of my CAs without heaters in my fishroom. They live and breed at 70-78, depending on the time of year...

You people must all be kidding saying "short term" is okay.
I keep my centrals and South Americans in my house without any heater. The temperature on average is 70 degrees. This has been going for 6 months and there have been no issues at all.
