Soaking temp

[Salspi]

One thing I have found is that if I soak my Kleinmanni at 95-97 degree they tend to be lazy all day long.

When I lower the soak temp to 80-85, they seem to be more active that day.

I will be paying attention to soak temps and daily activity going forward.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Soaking water should not be cold and not hot....tepid desired.....

Kleinmanni are known to aestivate in the summer during higher temps. Recommend soak temps are 85-95 everywhere I have read. I think that in this species it should be on the lower end of that.

Yep...like I said, not to warm and not too cold...tepid= 75 to 92 degrees (f).
