can they handle it?

I feel I have a great wealth of knowledge when i comes to big cats after years of reading. I have come across a question I dont personally know the answer to and am looking to you guys for the answer.

I am getting 4x pbass on valentines along with a rtcxtsn (trying this once again...hoping my cat doesnt kill them again). The pbass have a high risk of ick, and so I have read and been told to keep my water at 89°. Will a rtcxtsn be okay at these temps? Or should I hold off until I get another grow out tank setup for the cats?

I don't think they should mind. My pond stays at about 86 and they love it

Ive been trying to figure out what happened to your pond! Tell me! Lol. My fatties got murderd by my cat who unplugged the tanks powerstrip by knawing and pulling on it. I was at work and by the time I got home they were dead.

My bedroom door is never left open now for that reason. Plus my dogs would murder my 4 ferrets if the door got left open..

Whats with all these mammals? No, temp is too high for cat it will have massive oxygen and food demands at that temp and yes it will eat your fish again.
