they would call me sarah, but it seems that people are afraid to address me by my name. i am a senior. i dislike a lot of things. i enjoy a nice hot medium mocha latte and smoke too many cigarettes for my own good. i have been in love. i love lights and colors. i am above the influence.advice
I have a 10 gallon tank and I have 6 fish. Little ones. I know that the perfect temperature to have in the tank is 74/76 degrees. Right now, since it's so hot where I am, it's up to 80. I've tried everything to get the temperature to go down to normal, icecubes, removing warm water and adding cold. The temperature will go down for a few minutes then it just shoots right back up! I have two questions: 1) Does anyone have any other ideas on keeping the tank cool other than what I've been trying? and 2) Is 80 degrees DANGEROUSLY high for my fish? They are regular fresh water tropical fish. I have 2 Neon Tetras, an Angelfish, a Honey Gourami and 2 Zebra Danios, if that helps any. Thanks in advance!
Yikes! Same prolem here...All I did was move the tank into an airconditioned room and kept it at around 75 degrees.
Since these fishies are pretty easy to keep alive don't worry about it too much, plus they're cheap, so if they did get Nemo #2!
Also, NO MORE ICE CUBES or COLD WATER!! That could shock the fish by creating cold spots in the water!
Good luck and give my best to your fish!
(Rating: 5) Thanks... It would be a little hard for me to move my tank into an airconditioned room because well... My room is upstairs and the airconditioning is downstairs and the tank weighs like 5 million pounds. But thanks anyway :-)
