30 Deg Fish

[beechey]

what fish are ideal at 30 deg??

 

[england]

um why that high?
angels could prob survive that temp, but not sure theres really anything that likes it that hot perminantly, can you not lower the temp?

 

[Pleccy]

Discus
Hatchetfish
Pencilfish (Nannstomus sp.)
Rams
Apistogramma sp.
Certain plecs

 

[Schmill]

I too am interested why though? More energy, more evaporation, less fish choice?

 

[Pleccy]

Discus need high temperatures and many other south american fish thrive in such conditions, evaporation can be kept to a minimum by using a hood.

My Discus are at 30 degrees.

Looking at your avatar, Im going to guess you already have those - don't choose tank mates on the basis of only temperature!!

yep my discus are at 30 deg lol i never get any evaporation,

ive got a few fish in my tank all of which have been in there over a year which have been ok at 30 deg, but wanted to know what fish should always be kept at 30 deg

You'd probably get better answers if you changed this thread title to "What fish should I put in with my Discus"
