Ideal Water Temperatures?

[thegundog]

I'm coming off the back end of ICH treatment which included in part taking my water temperature, and holding same, to 86 F.

Since increasing the water temp my fish are eating and growing like pigs!

I watched my Rasbora Espei spawning over a cup of morning coffee yesterday.

Could this behavior be attributable to the temp increase?

How would leaving it there affect my fish?

29 Gallon FW stocked with Rummies and Rasbora Espei.

I'm glad that you eliminated the ich!

The increase temperature will have an effect in the fish for sure, I read that their metabolism increase with higher temperatures, so their life cycle will be reduced. How much less? I don't know.
Hope this helps
