Will a high temperature hurt my other fish?

[wtusa17]

I just got a pair of German blue rams for my 20 long. I have neon and emperor tetras, honey gourami, and a sparkling gourami. I will have to set the tank at 80-82. Will the higher temp affect my other fish too much?

The neons wont last long term at that temp

Warmer temperature will usually increase the metabolism of fish.

How long would you say?

How long would you say?

Less than a year, not sure exactly. It also depends how old they are currently

So what should I do then?

Not get fish that need different requirements next time probably.

I would either do a separate tank for the rams, in which you could add rummynose or cardinals which also need warmer water, or return the rams to the store

Ok. I have rummy nose so I might switch the 2 then
