     Possible.  I think that problem's been boiled down to bad stock.  
Nothing in my setup seems wrong, although I haven't tested the water quality 
yet.  Not sure if I want to shell out $50 for a testing kit... (multi-kit 
with the works)

     Yeah, apparently they are very adaptable, so I've ruled that out.  I'd 
simply had that suggestion from some guy I was talking to, so wanted to 
investigate it.

     Nope.  I try to keep my tank about 75, but it was closer to 80 or a bit 
more during really hot weather over the past couple weeks.  Back to about 75 
now.
