Question
what is the right temperature for manganese?

Answer
Hi Kirralee,
 There is no "right" temperature.  In the wild, the water that they are in might range from 72 (at night) to over 80oF during the day. (This by the way is one of the things I study as a scientist when I do my field work in Costa Rica).  It is a myth that New World cichlids need to be kept at a certain temperature such as 78oF.
