Just wondering how sensitive to heat and salt tigs are. I currently have tank at 80.5 degrees with a very minimal amount of salt I usually keep in tank. Tank has lots of oxygen and 2 hydor circulation pumps btw. But just in case of an ick break out or something along those lines was wondering what the limits were ? Saw one of my bass rub himself on the sand the other day and it made me wonder .
 
Current daily low and high in all my tanks (containing 6 tigs) are ~84-85 F and ~88-89 F.

IDK first hand much about tigs and salt. Don't recall reading that there was anything unusual there.

In general, healthy tigs in toxin-free, oxygen-rich water, I'd say, are hardy. Given their preciousness, I always proceed with extra caution though.
