Cichlid temps

[cchhcc]

Most CA's are completely fine in the high 60s (so long as it happens gradually). Some SA's are more needy in the way of heat, but some others actually NEED water to cool off for weeks to a few months of 50s+.

I had wondered the same as well. Went out of town last weekend and the house temp had dropped significantly (as expected when the high is 7*). My tank stayed warm enough, but my texas was definatly sluggish until I got it warmed back up.

Small world. I'm from Davenport. Are you on qcfishkeepers?

I am, but don't check it very often....

I have an automatic heater so my tank temperature never flucuates too badly.
