Well...I wouldn't keep the temperature that high. The higher the temperature, the faster it'll grow but it will shorten their life span.FLBettaCouple said:We keep the fry at about 80-82.
What we read when we were surprised with fry was that higher temps do increase the life cycle some, but fry need more warmth to help their developing immune systems. A number of sources online suggested 82-84 even just for the fry until they reached 1", but that seemed to high as we keep the adults at the standard 78, so we went with the middle ground of 80-82, mostly 80 but it'll warm up to 82 over 12 hours of tank lights being on until we get the 10w fl. bulbs for the tank. With our fry at first we kept it cooler when they were in the 1.5g since the heater was **** & only kept it 76-78, but they died at a faster rate from sickness since platy frys commonly have a lot of swim bladder problems. Feeding them crushed pea instead of flakes powder for some meals has helped with that too.Stradius011 said:Well...I wouldn't keep the temperature that high.
