Can I do this?

Hi, I have a 60l tank and a 25l tank at the moment I have 4 neon tetras in the 25L and 6 white cloud minnow in the 60L.
The 60L has a temp of 22oC so will I be able to move my neon tetras into the 60L tank? Advice?

IMO, Neon Teras fare better in warmer water, 76-79 degrees.

76oF is a only slightly more than 22oC and it says online that they can live in temperatures from 21oC to 28oC. Thanks for the reply I will see what some other people think.

Unfortunately just because they CAN live live in water that temperature doesn't mean they SHOULD live in it. Been keeping tetras on & off for 30+ years and tanks have always been about 78. In the fish world temperature is one of the more important items and 1 or 2 degrees CAN make a big difference

Ok thankyou I won’t be moving the tetras because they are at an ideal temperature now at 27oc

If you kept the temp exactly at 72F I think you could pull it off.
