Water Temps needed for this group of fish?

[Fruitfulspy]

I plan on getting 2 Gourami’s which temp is 72-82F, 2-schools of Rasboras and Tetras (maybe long fin red minor) which temps for them are 72-80f and Cory’s later on which temps are 60-75F. Which temperature should I be holding for my tank?

Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

You can look for a Cory that will tolerate higher temps like the bronze Cory is from 73f-79f.

I know, but I’m saying should I have the heater set for 75? So that way everyone is comfy?

Yes 76f -77f will be great I have Cory’s n my tank and I keep it at a constant 77f and they seem to be doing great.

Here is a picture of one of one of my bronze Cory’s sorry it’s not the best picture.

I think the member is suggesting you pick a cory species that will tolerate higher temps such as an Albino Cory or a SterbaI Cory or Bronze as was suggested, which can take 78- 80 degrees at the top scale. I have Pepper Cory's in one of my tanks they like lower temps 64-75. So to live with the other fish you've chosen Pepper Cory's would not do as well. Your holding temp for the fish you've chosen you could try 78 degrees. Good luck!

Would Tetras and Rasboras handle that temperature? Just curious. because I do know that Gourami's can. I've done so much research, reading, and taking notes on which fish could handle a temp like that.

Both should be ok, don't go beyond 78 for the Rasbora. I have a school of Lemon Tetra that does great at 78.

78F seems to me the magic number. Thanks for the info!
