got my young monos 2'', there going pretty good.
ive seen people think that a temp around 82-89 is a must for these young babys, my temp is at 79.
do you think i should turn it up?
will it harm my other fish? ive got a frontosa burundi, 2 tinfoil barbs, flagtail. 3 plecos
im feeding the baby monos three times a day on: hikari sinking carnivore pellets, and bloodworms. i just want them to grow as fast as they can!!
any tips and tricks i should no, let me no what you think is the best for these guys, any help will be awesome.
also, in a 180g 6x2x2 tank.
cheers
 
Sounds like it depends on what fish is your priority. If it's the pbass then turn it up to 86-88. They can make it with lower temps but your just lowering your success % and they won't grow as fast. All the fish you mentioned can handle the higher temp, with the exception of the Front as I've never kept them so I don't know.
 
raise the temp to 86-88 as stated above
your other fish should be fine with the higher temperatures JUST make sure that you have enough air and water circulation in the tank
warmer water = less oxygen in the water

try do weekly water changes of at least 30% and using tap water make sure to age and dechlorinate first
