The range of temperatures is 82 minimum and a max of 88. Its a personal preference really. The higher the temp, the higher their metabolism is running. I like to keep my juvies between 86-88F and my adults at 82-84. Thats just me

82-85 any higher the o2 levels drop higher o2 levels are much better for overall fish and bio health.

This is what I'm doing right now. I have itty bitty's at 86. I'm afraid to go higher. They are eating so that's what counts. :)

When I had adults back in the day I kept them at 83 or so.
