Temp for Rhom tank?

[oneyedfish]

I was wondering what temperature everyone keeps their adult Rhoms. I keep Mr. Chompers' tank at 80F. Too warm? For those that don't know he's 10-10.5" (if that matters). Thanks in advance!

typical 78-82F would be ok, but often 82F is used when treating injury or illness for most tropical fish and typical temperature is being kept at 78F-80F.
Certain species of piranhas are from cooler waters but the one you have (I would assume it's from Peru) will be fine for 80F.
