Ideal temperature for this community?

[mrzap]

I have a dual temp mode heater. It can do 76 degrees or 81. Right now I have it set on 76, but some sites say loaches like the low 80's more. I am not sure if my other fish would be compatible with that temp though.

These are my fish

Clown Loach
Golden Algae Eater
Neon Tetra
Male Endler
Ghost shrimp

What would be my ideal setting?

Thanks

clown loach = Water temperature: 75-86 F (24-30 C)
GAE = Temperature 23-28oC (73-82oF)
Neon Tetra = Temperature:...........74-79 F.
Male Endler = temperatures are between 75-82F.
Ghost shrimp = They do well in warmer temperatures, though they can survive in waters that are as cold as the upper 50 degree Fahrenheit range.

So, 76 is where it's at for you. (make sure you use a Thermometer to check the actual temp.)

Thanks, yep I have my thermometer checking things out.

76 is pretty much the standard for tropicals. I keep mine at 78.
