Can Frontosa Takes The Heat?

[IMCL85]

Hi all, I recently set up a 150g for my fellow clown loaches and I add a small front along with them in the 150g I dont want too much front and this male my friend gave me is enought for the tank right now his about 2 inchs. My question is that my loaches have develope ich which I'm not supprise when they been introduce to a new tank. I found that the front have no problem at all to ich guess african is generally more hardy . But damn I dont want to treat entire 150 gallons with quickcure that would be like 150 drops per day lol. I rather raise the temperature to 88 for the heat to kill the parasite with alot of water change. My question now is can the frontosa stand the heat? I'm currently have have any free tank for him as my quantine tank is treating some clown I have with internal parasite so he cant go in there. And my 25g is now with 14 cardinal/neon tetra and 5 small angel I dont want a mess in that tank. What do I do now?


Thx for looking
Jack

Hopefully someone will be able to give you a more accurate answer, but for now I'll just suggest you be very careful with heat because many Tanganyikans simply can't handle temps that warm. I'm not sure about Frontosa in particular though.
