84 Degrees Fahrenheit Tank (29 degrees c)

Hi,
I live in a tropical country which can be very hot during daytime(Philippines). My tank's temperature is always 84 degrees f (29 Degrees c), and I've read that the life expectancy of fish decrease when placed in higher temperature. Is the temp. fine as long as it's stable and lots of aeration? It'll be a freshwater tropical fish tank mostly Angelfish,KuhlI Loaches,Cory Catfish,Rummy nose tetra and Cardinal tetra. It's placed upstairs in a room w/o ac, and I can't transfer it to another place cause it has water already and currently cycling.

 

I'm not certain on the temp needs of the stock you are planning, but if it's going to be at 84, you'll definitely want lots of aeration. The higher the temp, the less air is available in the water, so additional aeration would be a good idea.

Most of their maximum temperature range is 82 degrees f.

 

Then move the a.c.

 

I don't know that it would kill them, but it probably wouldn't be best for them. They may end up being lethargic and not as fun to watch. Ideally, I'd probably try to get the tank temp down, if it were me. Not sure if that's a possibility.

There are water chillers, but they're really pricey.
Some people run fans over the water to help cool it off a bit, just have to make sure the fish won't decide to jump out.
Could move the AC, as Dsyroid mentioned.
If there's space in one of the rooms with AC, you could always let the cycle finish, and then drain the tank (keep at least one bucket full of water), drop the filter media in the tank water during the move to keep your BB happy, move everything, then refill it. The BB in the filter media should be ok long enough for you to move the tank as long as it's staying wet.
Give it a try and see if the fish adjust to the warmer temp.

Hopefully someone with more experience with these fish types will weigh in.

I asked my LFS about their tank's temperature and they said they keep it at 29 degrees c or 84 degrees f and they don't use any heater and chiller. They said as long as their is a lot of aeration and the temp is stable they'll be fine. Their fish looks ok though and seems healthy
