White Cloud Mountain Minows Ok For 28°C?

[Sharpy14]

Hey, I have 3 WCMM in a Nano tank and want space for something else in there, would they be ok in my Rio 180 which has a Temperature of 28°C...
Chris???

Definitely not, White Cloud Mountain Minnows are a sub tropical species and will prefer waters with a temperature of around 18-20oC.

agreed with standbysetting, they will not do well at all,

Mine have been in everything from unheated water to my current temp of 26-27 (also a rio 180), but they're only in this heated tank because I have nowhere else to put them, and at five years old they're finally starting to die off - I have 3 left of 8 and I'm not setting up a coldwater tank just for them. I would actually like the temp lower in the 180 but the room temperature prevents that happening.

They do better in cooler water though, 28 is far too high for them.
