Ideal Temperature

[Boohoo]

I know that every species has its own temperature requirements, but when you have a community tank the temp. may not fall within the preferred range for all species. What is a good temp to keep tetras, platys, corys,etc...? I keep my tank at 77.

Some species require warmer or cooler temps as you said, but for a community tank without fish that need to be at a specific temperature, 77F sounds ideal

I have 4 white clouds in my tank and the temp is 77. This is kinda off topic but two of them have very rounded bellies for the last 2 weeks. On the bottom. The other two are quite slender. would the ones with the bellies be females full of eggs and the other ones males?

I keep all my tanks at 78. I think it's a nice middle ground unless you're keeping goldfish or something.
