The temperature and the pH of the water varies for each different species of fish depending upon where the fish evolved. Fish are regarded as being "Tropical" if they come from the tropics. The temperature range for tropicals is from around 65F for Whitcloud Mountain Minnows up to around 85F for Discus. So, you can see that your question is based on a wrong assumption. The water for Tropical fish should not neccessarily be 70F or pH7.0., and the pH varies from below pH6 for Discus through neutral which is pH7 for most livebearers and up to pH8 for African cichlids.

What temperature should you set your water heater to?

from my knowledge of fishkeeping i believe you should go with about 70 on the thermometer not 70 degrees, 70 degrees Fahrenheit. if you were to do 70 degrees the fish would automatically die because the human skin average heat is 35 degrees so can you imagine how harsh that woyld be on the fish skin because the fish sking isn't half as tough as the humans. other information: ONLY PUT A HEATER IN TROPICAL FISH TANKS. COLDWATER FISH DONT NEED IT.

How deep does water need to be for frogs?

If your frog is a completely aquatic frog, the water should be deep enough to swim around in, like a regular fish. But if your frog is a half land half water frog, the water shouldn't be TOO deep. It should be shallow enough to let your frog's head break the surface, and you need to have sticks or ridges to help your frog get out of the water.


What temperature should a fish tank be?

That depends entirely on the type of fish that are in the tank. If you have tropical fish, temperatures ranging from 75-82 degrees Fahrenheit is about perfect. Freshwater fish are typically more forgiving of temperature differences than saltwater or oceanic fish tend to be. If you have common gold fish or other non tropical fresh water fish then room temperature or about 64-76 degrees is about perfect.Between 75 and 80 f

Can goldfish live with tropical fish?

I have three in a tank at 24degrees with neons, black neons, glow lights, cat fish and loaches and they are fine at this temp. do not put tropical fish in a cold water environment but do instead do some research into the temperatures that the fish like. the fish i have with mine are all suitable for this temperature and are doing much better that when they was at 26 degrees I hope you guys are talking about 24 and 26 degrees Celsius. I own 3 fancies with a rubber lip pleco, some ghost shrimp, a mystery snail, and about 4 or 5 ottos. As long as the tank is big enough and the temp is just right, it should work out. My temp is 72-75 degrees Fahrenheit.
