Many species of fish, from cool ocean waters or warm tropical waters, can only thrive when the water temperature is roughly the same as their native habitat. Some fish have a greater tolerance for lower temperatures than others, but a heater ensures that the temperature will not fall below comfortable levels.

Are fish tank heaters needed?
Typically heaters are needed for tropical fish tanks. However, if you could guarantee the room temperature where the tank is located will be maintained at the needed temperature for your fish, then you don't need a heater. Most tropical tanks need to be maintained at temperatures of 72 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the types of fish in the tank.

What type of heaters can go in fish tanks?
