Steve Pushak asked about SAE temerature ranges.

About 18 months ago I kept 60 SAEs in 64F for
about six weeks.  I acclimated them slowly and
they suffered no ill effect.  Many of them were
sold to other aquatic horticulturists and they
reported receiving them and having no problems.

I wasn't experimenting with them; it just happened
that way.

I also have kept them in 88F with no ill effect but
an extremely low fish load.

As Steve points out, proper acclimation is very
important.
