Water Temperature?

[Sea Turtle]

Hi everyone. I have a small freshwater tank upstairs with one fish in it. Recently as most of you know, it has been very hot outside. With my saltwater tnak, it likes the water temp aaround 78 to 81. This is not a problem right now with the heat being the way it is with a little AC on in the house. My problem is the little guy upstairs. How hot is too hot for a freashwater tank? What should I keep the temp at? Normally I keep it at 72 degrees.

my 10 gallon fry tank went up to almost 84. I know that can't be good, but my 55 gallon was fine. I took the lid off the fry tank and it seemed to drop a bit. I also did 2 water changes with cold water to try to even it out before i went to bed.

So do think that 78 degrees is ok or is that too high also?
