vindy500 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 And, my tanks are around about 29 degrees when I get home from work. I lost a tiger barb the other day but I don't know if that's related - tanks are usually 25 degrees... Edit: Capitals and Punctuation added...

GZ_Loach Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 my tank gets up to about 30-32 Degrees C, fish should be fine at 29Dc. You can also buy water coolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Could it have been from inssuficient oxygen? At higher temps the water holds less and if your filtration system isnt getting too much surface movement it can make the fish a bit sad.

Caryl Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Most fish will cope with higher temps for short periods of time. It is constant high temps that cause problems. At night the tank temp will drop again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
