Is 78 to 86 (with 82 optimal) the correct temp range for cf uaupesi ?

So i did a bit searching and the temp being recommended for cf uaupesi (red wedge in case there are other populations) is 78 to 86 with 82 as a good target.

This is a bit warmer then most other species i've kept (not sure i will get these but i could grow out a group in the discus tank and when i get rid of the discus in a few months i'll reduce it from 84 to 82).

So i'm looking for confirmation on actual temperature range for this species. These are actually sold as cf uaupesi red wedge which makes me think they are not actual uaupesi - the closest thing i can find on tom's web page are sp rotkeil which i think has a lower temp range of 75 to 82.

So i guess it kind of matters what the exact species is (good chance the seller doesn't know) and what is a reasonable temperature range and if 84 for a few months is too warm...

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
