The tank is kept away from windows, the problem is with these hot 
spells so I think I am going to have to invest in a fan for the room.

DL> Depends on type of fish, I've had fish at 78-84,  86-up is too high

Just a few small Barbs, Scissor Tails, Tetras, Two Plecs And A Kuli 
Loach that I very Rarly See.
At the moment though the Temp: is down to 78-80 
The Barbs seemed to be the ones that suffered the most.
I will take your advice and go to the libary and look the info on 
these type of fish.:-)
Cheers
Bye for now
