kiwinana1956 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Is it possible to slowly cool down my tropical tank holding guppies, mollies, platties and sword tails? I am needing there tank asap due to an angelfish baby explosion. Can I slowly cool down there tank so I can put them outside in our fishpond?

Caryl Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 You could put them outside over summer certainly. Just turn the heater off in the tank and it will slowly cool it down. 20 - 22C would be comfortable for them but guppies at least can go to about 18C. Not sure about the mollies, I think they prefer warmer. I breed barbs outside over summer and their pond gets hotter than the tropical tank insde! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIAN Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hi All. I agree with Caryl that you can put these fish outside over the summer; WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MOLLIES. Thes fish should be kept at a minimum of 26 degrees Centigrade. But good luck with the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doubting your word... but what about all the Mollies in the wild... (See Great Molly Hunt articles) Nobody takes those out over the winter.. and yet the survive.... quite well by the look of the pics that were taken of the members who caught them. Bill.
