Small Coldwater Fish???

**Tolley** · 03-20-2008, 08:46 PM

I was thinking the only coldwater fish were White clouds and Goldfish. Then i find out theres loads of fish that can live in coldwater. I am needing some for a 7.5g 18"x10"x10" tank without a heater. SO exactly what fish could go? Anyone kept them in cold? Experiences? I need ideas!

Thanks

bettas dont need a heater, ive seen plenty of them live at room temp. guppies can do room temp as well as pearl danios, zebra danios, snails, ghost shrimp . . .

anyone else? thats all i know

thanks mate! I'm leaning towards Danios now to join my current two. Might even get some fry as im overunning it with java moss. But u say Betta. Intresting.. People usually divided on bettas needing a heater. Anyone more opinions?

zebra danios can go as low as 70f, thats all i can think of right now

maybe a single paradise fish?

As long as that room temp is about 75deg.
