Regular Member fortunefaded Posted August 23, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 23, 2008 Howdy all, In setting up my tank, I've neglected the temperature of the water so I purchased a thermometer. The tank reading has been between 18-20 degrees celsius (65F), is this too low? If not, I suspect my tank will get colder in the upcomming winter. Should I purchase a heater as a precaution? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Awesome Orandas Posted August 23, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 23, 2008 It wont hurt them, if it stays like that, but I like to keep my tanks at 70, But 65 won't hurt and fish with wens cooler temps promote more fatty tissue growth such as wens. But for the winter it depends on what your house temperatures are. Heaters are inexpensive and cheap to run overalll I think you should get a heater I find my fish do the best at 70 but it's your call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
