Temperature for Marbled Morotos?

[Madou]

Hey guys,

I've been reading this thread and I've been wondering about my Marbled.
https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/are-we-keeping-our-cichlids-too-warm.698744/

What temps do you guys keep your rays in? Would I be safe with 20-22°C?
If so, that'd be a hell of a lot of savings if I can unplug my heater or keep it on the low 20s to be sure it doesn't drop below.

Since all that's with it are CA/SA fish, that's something I would love to consider.
Slower metabolism also means less food, etc. If I get me a female hystrix to try to hybridize them, I could change my mind, but since there are no plans just yet...

Any input you guys could give?

Marble rays come from warmer than normal water for rays. I've found that mine are the most active and eat best at 83 to 84 F. I tried 80 and lower and they acted sluggish and didn't eat much.

76-80 is a good range for all the rays we keep!

Makes a lot of sense. Room temperature is at 22, which would be the lower end of a night temperature at the very bottom of the amazon. I can't just keep it that way.

Was worth asking, not taking the risk, my boy's too pretty.
