Hello there, I might possibly get a grass pickerel but i needed to ask a quick question. Could a grass pickerel live it’s life in 76 degree water? My house stays at 77 degrees year round, give or take 1 and I want to know if the pickerel would live a happy life in there, I don’t want to subject it to suffering due to temperatures. When I tried looking it up it gave me a HUGE temperature range

It should live just fine at that temp but it will have a slightly shorter life due to the temp increasing its metabolism. I've kept cold water fish in tropical temps and they always did just fine, only problem I had was they were always hungry and grew super fast.
