Best Answer

The heater should be turned on by a regulating thermostat that keeps water temperature at the desired temperature for your species of fish, usually 72 - 80° F. Many heaters used by aquarium hobbyists contain one or more thermostats that can regulate temperature at a setting.

A thermometer can be left on all the time if you are refering to a digital version because it only measures the temperature and does not affect water.
