Just wondering off the top of my head maybe for future reference maybe not. Seriously fish list the Bolivian Rams temperature range as 69F to 82F. I have Panda Cory's and my tank so I don't want to keep it too hot for them obviously.so my question is if I were to run my tank at 75F, (which I am) would that be too cold for a Bolivian Rams? Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10. GH 9 KH 3 pH 7.8? The only other tank inhabitants will be harlequin rasboras which I have to repopulate after a die off☹️. Thanks in advance!
 
I have a Bolivian Ram in my tank with a temperature of 76. Liveaquaria says 72-79 is fine for the bolivian ram.. So 75 degrees is fine for the Bolivian Ram.

Okay thank you that's good to know.
 
I had a male Bolivian Ram in a tank with some 50 cories including a group of 7 pandas (and several upper characins species), and the temperature was 76F (24.5 C). I would not go higher than this for the cories, nor much lower for the Ram but 75F (24C) is OK.

I have had the temperature on Seriously Fish revised, so it now reads 24C (75 F) as minimum. That was just a slip.

The Ram has a normal lifespan of 4-5 years, and mine was well into his ninth year when he passed so I can surmise he did not have much to complain about. I still have the pandas.
