Tigrinus water Temperature

[N-E Cichlids]

I have heard that you can not keep a Tig in Water over 75 Degree.

Anyone want to Confirm.

really?
ive heard of guys over here keeping them in higher temps than that.

I wouldnt go much more than that,perhaps 78 degrees tops,these cats rely on fast moving water in the wild,this type of water is rich in disolved oxygen,the warmer the water the less disolved oxggen it holds,if your going to up the temp make sure you install an additional air source.

Mine was in 75 degree water in the winter and mid 80s in the summer. I never noticed a difference in behavior. I did have tons of aeration through the wet/dry which probably helped

Everyone I have had I kept in high temps with lots of aeration.

There is a vendor on another forum who states that all tigs die if the water is over 75 degrees.

I know it is BS, just want others to confirm it.

I used to keep mine at 82 degrees with my aros.

keep mine in 80 during winter and as high as 90 in summer. but has enormous aeration.

85 makes their appetite big. kept at 80 and below they seem bored
