78-80 should be good.

High temp to promote rapid growth?

yes because there going to be 2.5 inches

Higher temps are recommended but not sure if needed. The pbass owners can attest to this.

Slowly bring up the temp and add some airpump/airstones to make sure the O2 isn't a problem.

you need that higher temp for the bass to help ward off ich.
I have kept bass, datnoids and bichirs at 86-87 with no problems.
Once the bass hit 10-12" it should be ok to lower the temp to the low 80s.
But imo its best for the fish to keep the temps in the higher 80s while the fish are juvi's.
