I’m looking for some advice from anyone who has successfully kept a candy basslet long term. What temperature did you keep your tank at? The recommended temperature for candy basslets seems to be all over the place. What works for you? Thanks!

I have kept two long term (at least 2 years each) at around 78 with occasional summer days up to 80. They maintained their color and vigor throughout. I lost both to accidents, unfortunately, and am looking for another.

My tank runs at the same temperatures you just mentioned although I am considering bumping it down to 76 on account of my new candy basslet. Thanks for your input!
