Red Phantom Tetra Temperature

[Cú Mhara]

I just bought 12 of these guys for my community tank and I'm wondering what their ideal temperature is. I have checked all of the usual sites and I can't find a conclusive answer. Some say it should be 22 others say they will do fine at 24. The thing is, I have Corydoras Sterbai in there with them so I don't want it to be too cold!

They will be fine at 26°C, which should be alright for your sterbais as well

Really? I can't seem to find anything saying they will do OK at 26. Not that I'm doubting you! Thanks a lot for the reply; I will bump the temperature back up to 26.

I looked on a couple of sites; the Seriously Fish one says 22/28°C, and that's usually a reliable source of info; they're not in our fish species index, unfortunately.

Lovely. I had checked Seriouslyfish on my phone in the shop but I must have clicked on the wrong link, or something. Thank you so much for putting me at ease!
