Subj : Re: white cloud minnows To : All From : Tiddleye Date : Thu Jun 12 2003 10:04 pm White cloud moutain minnows like an ideal temp of 72F, so I would say that the raised temp is your problem, the cory's will be ok in that temp too. I would aim for a compromise of 74 degrees and see how they get on.
