I've read that the temperature of your tank can make a difference of life expectancy of your fish. To warm and they grow quicker and mature and die earlier. I have just surpassed 3 years on the 125. Other than doing the dirty work and buying fish for my girlfriend it was her hobby. I've had a illness and been off work for 4 months and joined AC and learned more than she. I'm now taking care of the 125 and the 75 and letting her take care of the 37. I am curious about temperature. Thermometers have a blue area for comfortability and is that range suitable for most fish. I understand guppies like it a little cooler but the 125 I can't get below 80 due to where it is sitting. Fish are very active and there is somewhere around 115 to 120 different species of Tetras,Danios,cardinals,and bla bla bla. Is there a basic guide to follow to prevent other types of algae growth, or bacterial infections due to the water temp. Curious, Algae is under control and not a problem. Just curious if other diseases can be acquired do to temp. Water changes of 15% every other week and 30% in between. Everything is good, just curious!!!!:feedback:
