matthewY Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 If the fast temp changes are a concern, I wonder if adding rocks down teh bottom will help maintain a more constant temperture.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Or dig a hole and put the tanks in it. Then you have little ponds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 The temp changes are not a concern, anything but , they may be a spawning trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 you just need to look at your fish and they spawn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 you could always shade the tanks or put them in a cooler area if the temp is getting too hot another idea is a pair of paradise fish...be ready for a mass sale after summer! :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rox Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Not too hot today!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I just got my 4 foot breeding tank back, and I'm thinking I'll try putting the spare 4 foot tank outside and breed something in it. It's on the shady side of the house, so I thought minnows would be ok and not get too hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hey Paul how are you going with the checker barbs outside? I have some indoors and quite like them, and wondered what the temperature ranges were with your tank they're in? I might consider something like barbs rather than minnows if I know the temp range is ok in the area where I's put my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might consider something like barbs rather than minnows if I know the temp range is ok in the area where I's put my tank. The Barbs are still pretty young and not 100% happy I'm keeping a close eye on them but might move them back inside. not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 A quick update on the outside tanks , Not a great success, I lost 1 cory and the others did not look to trilled about the temp changes , it was going from 10 -30 degrees every 24 hours so they are back inside and much happier. The barbs also did not like the changes in temp so dramaticly so they are also back inside. the danio's the same story so i now have the old WCMM & Leopard fish outside and am thinking what else i might try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 The odessas seem to be stimulated by the temp drops and can be seen spawning on colder mornings. We dropped to 7 overnight last night apparently and all happily swimming about this morning with the water temp at 13C. Pools have got up to 27C so far. Being a larger body of water than tanks they are slower to heat up and cool down, and when they do it is not to the same extreme as the air temperature. They have yet to reach the air temperature when it has been 33C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
