In my experience and what i read, no.

all the best.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

I also experienced the same bleaching at 31C.. at 28C I saw significant improvement.

However, I must say that there are other factors to consider like lighting and water parameters.

Best to keep below30 degrees, just get a cool breezer at aquamarine.

And for me, from last yr Nov till now...never check parameters.

Just dose apharm A&B 2 or 3 times a week, water change weekly.

Most important use DI water or distilled water.
