Tiger Barb Temp

[DormFishKeeper]

Will my tiger barb survive if the water is 82 degrees.

says it should be cooler, but the tank water sits between 80 and 85 will he be alright? I haven't put him in yet.

From the page you linked:

"Temperature is not critical, and this fish can even be kept in an unheated tank. Provide good lighting, and a fine substrate to complete the setup."

Should be true for a few degrees the other way as well, but that's just a guess. Someone else may know for sure though.
