The goldfish are in the bottom 40 and they have no heater. I just fill up their tank with cold water. In the upper 40, i have my common pleco, my rhino pleco, 2 apple snails and the 23 electric blue haps.
The problem with higher temperatures is the dissolved oxygen level lowers as the temperature raises. From what I've read goldfish have to be kept at lower water temperatures because they need more oxygen. This would only harm them if it was happening for a while.
So do koi and lately the weather in Chicago is 90-95 with crazy humidity and my father has koi outside. They will do fine in negative to very high temps as long as their aeration!!!!
The Key is water skimming but why is their a goldfish in the tank?
Like i said, it is not the goldfish tank, it is the electric blue tank.
What?
He's saying 23 electric haps and my bad didn't read the part it was in another tank someone said goldfish
