wow...
where in the world is freshwater naturally that warm?

I keep my planted FW CRS tank around 76 degrees....

I'm shocked that you would keep a fw tank warmer than a reef.

African Cichlids can tolerate temperatures between 74 and 82F. I've successfully bred and raised Cichlids on 79C so I just stick with it. Never attempted any higher unless treating them for ich but even then only keeping the heat up for a short time.

What can I say...I'm a newb...
not sure what made me set the heater that high, but I have adjusted it and the temperature is right around 78F now.
Thanks for all the input, I have re-arranged my tank somewhat to give everyone more places to hide from eachother, and that seems to have helped.
Thanks again
