Platy Breeding tempuratures?

plasma19 · 08-19-2007, 05:39 PM

I keep hearing different about how high the tempurature should be

first i heard 74-76
then 76-78 then!
78-82?

Which one is most appropriate, right now my tank is at about 74-75ish.

Is it true that raising the tempurature makes breeding easier?
i heard something like that.

and if so why?

Keep it at the temperature your local LFS said, because they breed at their normal temperature.
