As titled, what would be the minimum lethal temperature for clown loach? Indonesia's pretty steady-hot, but I'm still expecting 18C/65F should be Ok - yes/no?
They're in with BGK & wood catfish; White Amazon can get chilly in storms, particularly oxbows <15C (according to Google)- so I'm not too too worried about them.
The remnants to that polar vortex across the central/eastern USA are here this weekend with expected lows to 14C on our mountain-top & I've not fixed the windows from Hurricane Melissa yet. Heaters(? - yes, I bought years ago) are set, set to hold at 22C including 800Watt in the 100gal with the loaches. I everything's covered with saran-wrap & wraped in towels.
AND, solar & batteries in a multi-day grey-rainy norther (weather event) are a thing, thus heaters set to 22 & not 27 with fingers-crossed I'm not up with the generator at 2AM
Ambient this month's been ~23C, some are maybe a little sluggish, but apparently fine.
Meanwhile, the new batch of cardinals have been on an ich heat-treat @ 29~30C for 5days, so just short of finished... I suppose that's another fingers-crossed situation.
Oh, the fun of wet-pets
