Tank temp for Zoos

[dock rat]

What is the best tank temp for zoos ?
Do they like it cooler 74 - 76 or Do they do better in warmer water 76 -78?
thanks

what would be the effects of say 75 degrees vs 80 degrees?

at higher temperatures metabolism is elevated and they will grow quicker.

Thanks, Exactly the kind of information I was looking for. My tank stays around 77. I may try to tweak it up a degree or two.
