Summer slapped the aquariums with heat again this year. My aquariums are between 26-28 degrees celcius, I have no problem with summer, an apisto owner I know has 33-38 degrees celcius at his aquarium! His aquarium temperature goes up and down between these degrees.
I think it normally is 34 degrees celcius and drops to 32 when he changes some water, then goes up to 34 or higher again.
My main question is: How are his apistos and guppies are living at these temperatures without any visible problem? They seem to eat and roam around swimming just as usual.
Is the lethal temperature limit for apistos higher then 38 degrees celcius? Are they not supposed to show some unhappiness or get sick, even if it is not as hot as "the lethal limit"?
Maybe they do just fine because there is still enough oxygen in water? I really am surprised with the fish and plants being fine at 34-38 range. I could not find any information about "the upper lethal limit temperature" of apistos or any other aquarium fish on the internet?!
