Panaque cochliodon and water temprature...

Post by Kostas »

Hi!

I would like to ask you if Panaque cochliodon really wants so low tempratures(20-24C) as the Catelog lists...Does Rio Cauca stay that cold year round?
Would Panaque cochliodon be ok kept at 24-28C with temprature varying according to the seasons?(in other words,in an Upper Orinoco biotope tank...)

Thank you very much in advance! :)

I have had blue eyed pleco before in temperature up to 29 degrees celsius and i hope that it enjoyed the high temp because it didn´t show any signs of not doing so.
I would say 24-28 is totally alright for the fish.
I keep zebras,L200´s,L183´s,L333´s and many more,lots of corys and some cichlids from south america :D
