I keep all my fish at 80f I feel you could keep most tropical at that temperature

 

[Phreaker]

Yes, nearly all fish from true tropical regions would be fine in that temperature. The thermal maximum for some of the less tolerant fish is still in the 92 fahrenheit range.
You can skim through the following paper below if you want to see some temperature tolerance studies on the common fish we keep.

German blue rams, rummy nose tetras, cardinal tetras, some plecos... just to name a few. Many rainbowfish, etc.

What is your GH?

But its not true all tropicals will be fine at that temperature. Keeping fish in the wrong temperature stresses their immune systems which makes them more prone to problems, and speeds up their metabolism so they also live shorter lives.

Why do you want your tank set at 80-82. Discus love heat

Thats exactly why I don't want to make mistakes and keep my fish stressed out
