Betta Temperature

[smithrc]

We have a male plakat in our L129 plec tank. We are trying to breed the plecs and would like to have the option to raise the temp in the tank to about 84ºF (30ºC) (max)

Will Mr Betta be ok or shall we move him to a cooler tank?

He is at 26º at the moment and is quite happy but I dont want to make him uncomfotable.

Thanks in advance.

I keep my tank with my betta in it at a steady 82 degrees farenheit so it should be okay.

80 is a WONDERFUL temperature for Bettas.

Their normal breeding range temp is 80-84 degrees, and the babies are reared at that temp. Being that temp isn't going to hurt him in the slightest.

Good luck breeding the plecs!

I agree. Most tropical fish will be fine up to about 82 degrees, many will be fine in higher.

ps good luck breeding

I was just about to say - if you think about where bettas come from, I'm sure they will thank you for the higher temperature (if they could speak).
