I have some of those newsletters from somthingfishy and most that I have seen goes completly against what any expert will tell you. I treated a whole tank with metro for 7 days and kept the temp at 92, one of the males in there a couple months later started spawning and every time 95% of the eggs were fertile:D IMO I would beleave anything thier newsletter said.

I know in humans a higher body temp will kill off sperm, but it gets remade again....to try to keep this as clean as possible lol. Im sure fish are the same way in that it may effect them for the next few days/weeks but not make them sterile.
