Too warm for rice fish?

[kansas]

A 55 gallon tank, lots plants. Temp in the winter is around 75 degrees but the house is not air conditioned, and water gets to maybe 82 in the summer.

Seriously Fish says that will shorten their lives. Anyone here have experience keeping this fish in warm water? The tank has honey gouramis, lambchop rasboras, and kuhli loaches.

In my old apartment, it was never cool except for maybe a couple of weeks in the dead of winter.

My big problem was the heat - usually 80F at best and over 90F in summer.

I honest can’t say what effect it had on my Daisy’s ricefish in terms of longevity but it didn’t appear to cause them distress.

I always had multiple filters running and plenty of circulatIon so oxygen levels were not a problem and when it got to be over 85F I used fans to keep the tank water from getting any warmer.

Water in my Medaka ponds are below 40F in winter and over 90F in summer.
They live for 2 or 3 breeding seasons.
