livingart Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Doesn't matter about the shade it is down to ambient room temp They need to be kept under a max of 20 centigrade, preferably about 16c as a matter of best practise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjansss Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 About 16c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 About 16c Without any cooling? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjansss Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Well at least that's what the temp was for wellington on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyp123 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Well at least that's what the temp was for wellington on the day That doesn't mean your tank is that temperature. You need a thermometer in the tank to measure it and you need to be chilling the tank - other wise your fish will die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjansss Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 They already died from the fungi that tank is not running at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyp123 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 They already died from the fungi that tank is not running at the moment I mean with ANY and ALL native fish, including koura, whenever you have them - if you get them in the future or have them now - they ALL need cooling.

livingart Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 You need an internal thermometer for your tank and the fungi happened after death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjansss Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 It started before death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 You had a serious problem with water quality or temp the as a fungus that attacks fish and crustaceans at the same time is unusual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
