Just thought I'd do a quick survey. Was just browsing through the sticky and I saw 75-80 F, and I'm thinking I keep mine probably around 85 sometimes, hope I'm not shortening their lifespan or not keeping them overly happy with my temp up so high, in my experience with other fish higher temp = higher metabolism and therefore growth when they eat more, plus it keeps the bad stuff (ick) away. Temp is usually between 28-32 C for me, probably more commonly around the 29-30 range, so I just wanted to know what people keep theirs at and if there is reasoning behind it. Cheers.
What do you ugys keep your temp at for rays?

81 constant, drops to around 75 during wc. I've never heard of rays catching ich before.

78 or so, I actually have heard a couple places that a bit lower is better as the bottom of rivers were they live is usually more like 72 to 75
Think there's some negatives to keeping it higher? I'll temp gun it when I get home and adjust a bit I guess, I've never had issues.
Around 78. I don't see the reason for keeping them at 85. Unless you have other fish that need it warm. Such as baby peacock bass.
