It depends on each type of fish. Certain tropical breeds need their own temperature and pH level. Goldfish are less fussy, however research into your breed of fish and find out what temperature it is best suited at. The usual safe temperature for tropical fish is between 22 - 28 degrees centigrade. However I think cold water fish are more flexible.

What do I do when my fish is at the bottom of his tank trying to get up but can't?
Check with the people who sold you the tank and or fish; they may have some ideas. You can't put fish right into water from the tap; if you did that it probably accounts for their discomfort. You need to condition the water to remove the chlorine. Tanks also need to be at the right temperature, and adding fish to tanks that are are a different temperature from their travel bags is really a shock to them. There are various conditioners you can get. There is also a special salt (yes, salt) that you can put into fresh water tanks; the salt is calming to the fish. Naturally, you put in only the amount given in the instructions. The people at the store may recommend some medications to add if there are symptoms that you can describe to them. Don't be discouraged; new tanks need to be conditioned over time, and they need to contain some healthy bacteria that will develop over time as well.
