What temperature for elizabeth

[anewbie]

I'm not finding a decent temperature for a. elizabeth when i check various sites - so i'm unsure if they are a bit cooler 76-77 or warmer water 78-80 or something unique. Any pointers to a good source for an accurate temperature ?

A couple of degrees one way or the other shouldn't be a problem. Once adapted to their new home they are really tough little fish.

I have a question: Why do you always chase temperatures? I mean... The fish come from a vast area but except the Llanos species from Colombia and Venezuela, hillstream species from Peru and the southern species from Bolivia/Argentina the differences are really marginal between Negro, Madeira or Tapajós.

Two reasons - the m/f from broods and health; too warm they die faster too cold they die faster. I suppose they aren't as sensitive as i feel they might be - though there are fishes where 2 degrees make a big difference.

Anyway they are in a hiding mood though i did find all three but it took a couple of hours. I hate having hiding places
