Can you keep tropical fish in a cold water fish tank?
The only difference between a cold water tank and a tropical tank is the temperature of the water. There is no other difference. Different species of tropical fish require different temperatures. The range is from around 65F for Whitecloud Mountain Minnows up to around 85F for Discus cichlids. Not all tropical fish, however need to be in a heated fish tank. For example, sword tails have been adapted to live in cold water. The basic rules for keeping fish are as follows:1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water, every tank needs a fully cycled filter running permanently, every tank needs to have at least 25% of its water replaced every week. If you keep to those rules, your fish has quite a strong chance to live a long happy life. All fish are different and some might be born as weak or unhealthy ones and may pass away no matter how well you keep them. If you don't follow these rules, your fish can be guaranteed to have constant problems with their health.
