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.
