I don't know the max but they should be able to handle the mid 80's without issues. I'd start worrying if you get close to the 90's.

Maybe you might want to add extra aeration?

I've certainly kept mine in the fishroom at the 86'F/30'C without any notable stress.

I've had mine up at 86 because of ich without problems also. But I made sure I increased surface agitation.
