I keep mine at about 78-80 degrees... All the posts I've read on here say the same. I think that might be too hot but I will let the experts on here tell you for sure.
Just call me Brooksie!!

I would say yes, that is a tad too high. An optimum temperature would be around 82°F, rising not much more than 84°F. If you need to treat for Ick then you could raise the temperature to 86°F or leave it like that for 10 days but I don't think I would leave it that high all the time
I may not always be right, but I am always the boss
If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

X2! Except I keep all of my tanks at 80 degrees.
It's NOT smart to piss off the girl with the BAN button!

About 80f is best. If you have it warmer your fish will grow quicker but you will reduce their lifespan
