So that is a good temp to keep them ? I was told that they needed cooler water like Barca and Auranti ? 78 ?

They are a tropical species, care is not like auranti or barca.

The rivers auranti and barca come from are in the north of india with temps the vary seasonally from 17-24C (62-75c).

The waters in the area diplos come from is in the south of India and quite warm ranging from 27-30C ( 80-86f) depending on the season.


here are a couple care sheets.
