P. polleni temperatures

[WinterAlloy]

In research, I have read that P. polleni is noted as one of the most adaptable cichlids, i.e. pH, hardness/SG, elevation, current and temperature.

This said what temperatures do you all keep your P. polleni at?

Any notable experiences with them kept at 80*?

Does anybody keep them between 65*-74*?

78 year round for mine as well. In the summer it may go up to 81/82 if the ac isn't on 24/7

Does anybody keep them in unheated indoor aquariums year round of think they it may be a problem?

I had an individual that I kept in an 300 gal outdoor stock tank in Wisconsin in summer, night temps easily dipped into the 60s'F, rising in the day to the 80sF.
I would find it sunning itself in early morning, but work its way deeper in the heat of the day.
I believe the northern varieties are probably less tolerant of changes being from closer to the equator, than the southern location variants.

Out of curiosity, did you take down the temp at its preferred depth?
