Bristle nose at high water temperature

[vss]

Last time I raised my water temp to 89 and I lost two bristlenoses. Not sure if it is due to the temperature or some other reason. Now I'm about to raise my water temp to 90 for about 2 weeks with 0.2% salt, just don't know if the bristle noses can make it or not? Thanks!

Unfortunately they don't do well at those temperatures. Best I can suggest is make sure you have extra aeration and pray.

The combination of high temp and salt would not bode well, they don't tolerate either particularly well.

Thanks alot Al and Rick. I won't take the chance then. :( Just moved them together with my 3 corycats to a 5 gal bucket temporarily and added a small sponge filter in it.
