Cover tank top with wire mesh and rest 2 pcs of computer fans on it 24/7 will bring temp down 1-2C & improve tank ventilation.

by right as temperature increase, their metabolism rate also increases and so their appetite should improve.

Try getting those mercury thermometers, they're more accurate than those digital or strips kind.

If your filter is powerful enough to handle the bioload should be fine. If not more regular water change is prefered. Cheers.

Hi bro, for Aros, it should be ok.
But u must watch out for your Tigers.
sometime i notice if the temp is too high (higher than normal 28-30 deg), the tigers will start to breathe quite heavily.
Once that happened, i will do water change and increase the acceration in the tank.
this is wat i experienced.
