Temperature freshwater aquariums

The name Tropicals, puts too much emphasis on the idea of a high temperature, for all fish species. There are a number of them who are not from the tropics, and a small number of them who come from the tropics, did not originate from hot water in particular.

It is understood that the majority of exotic aquarium fish, may be cold water, and rightly so, because the fish can get sick easier, and secondly, many of them are not prosper in the higher temperatures, because they need more oxygen than water can carry.

Placing them all in the water around 80 degrees, is not the kind that Aquarius think, who likes to high temperatures. The only thing you must not believe, is that each species has an exact degree of heat. Most of them have a tolerance of at least 10 degrees and can withstand 5 degrees change by more than 8 hours without injury.

Regarding individual species is concerned, is difficult to put fish in the hottest and most consistent places, the resistance and those in the cooler places. I think a lot of unnecessary worries and expenditure is given to try to keep aquariums or aquarium rooms within 2 degrees of a fixed point.

The nature does not provide such an environment, and it was observed that fish are stimulated by a change in temperature. The aquarium should not be too concerned about the variation between heat at the top and bottom of the aquarium. The change in the waters is considerable, but the fish seem to handle without difficulty. They can choose what level in the water they love.

Everything boils down to this: The average of exotic aquarium fish is pleased to an average temperature of 72-76 degrees. Sometimes, you do not let the temperature drop-down menu below 70 - degrees, and if it does it would not be bad, but raise the temperature more quickly. Taking the temperature above 8o degrees is fine, as long as their is enough oxygen in the water.

The breeding of most fish, means increasing the water temperature above 80 - degrees. If, causes uncontrollable, the temperature drops low of 60 degrees or 50 degrees, the thing to do is bring it slowly to about 80 degrees and keep it there for 24 hours or more.

The best way to keep an aquarium at the right temperature, with a heater. Égalise ventilation at the high and low temperature. The most asked question is, 'What size water heater is required for a capacity gallon? "This can not be answered intelligently without knowing the amount of cold to overcome. A general rule is 2 watts for raising each gallon of 5 degrees above ambient temperature. I prefer conservative size of heating units, so if a thermostat is not working, not fish fry.

It's Alright for fish to swim in warm water cooler in your aquarium, but its evolution quite different from a reservoir to another, which could vary the temperature of several degrees, either up or low. This is something that should not be done. The effect May not be apparent at once, but it is rarely escaped. It usually covers the "shaking" or "shimmies," Ichthyophthirius (ick), fungus or a general decline of descent. Changes should be made within 2 degrees of temperature. You should check the thermometers, because they can be cut as much as 4 degrees.
