Temperature Question

[aaron7353]

I have heard before that plecos don't need a heated tank. I have a rhino pleco that I'd like in my natives tank which is unheated. Temps would be like 65 at the lowest. Is that okay for plecos? Specifically my pleco that is. Thanks!

5 seconds via a Google search came up with this:

Says 72-82°F

Anyone can google, but google isn't always as effective as asking an experienced opinion from those who know better than myself. Thank you, nonetheless.

My tank is unheated but it stays in the 70's

Commons I say yes but a Rhino I'd be a little more scared to say yes

Awesome. Thanks to all

I would be safe and run it 76-78 thats a good neutral temp.
