Ok, so my tank temp is ranging from 31 to 32 degrees. I have read that Dovii max temp is around 38'c. He is ok, eating, chasing the bala sharks, getting owned by the smaller female motaguense :) So at what temperature should I start taking measures to cool the tank ?

Tank is outdoor outdoor. I live in a tropical country. Tank is 250g with 100 gallon grow-out tank underneath and 40gallon sump. Total water volume is around 370 gallons.

I have my tank at 26'c-27'c it's a 96x30x30 375g, I would actually say your tank is a little to warm already not sure if it will do him any harm though, in all honesty I would not let the tank get anyware near 38'c as I've never read of any Dovii living at that temp to be honest, my fella is around 3 years old now and is eating 2-3 times a day and growing like a champ at my temp, I've heard that increased temps can help with power feeding, but I don't power feed as I've read it effects long term health of the fish, I'm not a total expert though but there are some top guys on here sure they will set you right
