Eric, I think two of my reply lines got mixed together. I wasn't trying to imply that obligate anaerobes can't tolerate heat -- they can't tolerate oxygen. The inability to tolerate oxygen and different temperature conditions are two separate things,dpnshnks said:Fair enough, Matt. Obligate anaerobes will die off in the presence of oxygen, but they could definitely tolerate the heat!I'm not sure if the oxygen content in an aquarium would be enough to kill them by itself, but you're definitely correct, the water temp under the 400 degrees their used to would be a bummer for them.
