Question about Port Acara cichlid

[Cookie_apisto]

Does any of you guys have experience with the Port Acara cichlids? Can they survive at the temperature around 80F?

Which "Port Acara" (Cichlasoma actually) do you have? The true Port Acara (Cichlasoma portalegrense) is not as common in the hobby as some other Port-like cichlasomines. Port-like species occur throughout tropical and subtropical South America and into southern Central America.

I think 80 F should be okay for pretty much any of the Cichlasoma and Aequidens "Acara" species.
