They never agree because there is no "perfect" temperature for goldfish as far as I am concerned. As long as the temp does not fluctuate wildly it's not really a problem, most people just have them at room temperature. My tanks are about 76 right now. I have heard a cooler tank will keep blacks blacker though, not sure if there is any truth in that. My blacks never faded because of my temps though.

In the summer, my tanks are even warmer!
