High temp

[Big Daves Rays]

my ray tank was 94 degrees a few years back when the heater stuck on. Rays were fine, just really hungry!

90 is no problem for a ew days or a few weks even , as long as there is plenty of airation. ( warmer water holds less oxygen but makes the rays more active) Sometimes it is actually useful and is part of a good quarantine program as it interferes with the life cycles of some internal parasites.

this chould be why i have had so much luck with my rays

i keep it at 86 all the time when i do the 25% water changes twice per week it drops down to 80 then back up to 86 within a few hours

i never heat the fresh water just pump it in right from the tap then add a bit of seachem prime to the whole tank for good luck

a drop of 86-80 is no more than a temp drop the rays would get in the wild over night

plenty of air and 90 is no problem

My tank has been getting warm as well......., I was wondering why the temp would get higher than what was set on my heaters. I realized that it was probably due to my pump which is pretty big for the size aquarium it is running..... the temp got up to almost 92 the last two days..... but my rays were doing great....., hungry as hell and extremely active......, so I cant see why it would be bad for them....., just probably wouldnt want to keep it up there for ever....., and like dave said just make sure that your tank has plenty of air.....

mine used to run up to 90 and I had no problems

The water temp in the Amazon doesn't change much at night as the air temp is still hot and the sheer volume of water prevents significant heat loss. The sudden drops happen when it rains, cold rain from high up, this also increases the oxygen levels in the water and the availability of food, which are breeding triggers for many species of fish down there, especially when the seasonal 'wet season' constant deluge begins and the fish are able to migrate back into the newly re-flooded forests to search for much more food.
When I was night fishing for Discus down there I was very taken by surprise by the coldness of the rain despite the air temp of over 90F( check my site for pics. http://freshwaterstingray.com)

it rains heavy in my tank twice per week
