Posted	guppys hanging by heater
01-07-2005 21:52 by Travis	Hi all. does anybody know why my guppys are hanging around my heater????? wrightnow my temp is perfect and their acting fine. but they just stay around it all the time.?:-?
02-07-2005 15:16 by davey	hello, What is the actual tank temp? Are you taking temperature readings from near the heater or from the furthesr point? Is the heater near a filter or powerhead etc? Guppys are normally quite active and playfull, Do you have any other fish that act aggresively to them? How long have you had the guppys?
07-07-2005 12:38 by Travis	Hi davey. to start I have had my guppys for sevrel months now. also none of my other fish pick on my guppys.right know temp is about 76 degrees. but my heater is in the back of the tank and my thermomiter is in the front.have any more advice????
07-07-2005 16:42 by davey	It could be something simple as the heat is not being circulated around the whole tank evenly, I always placed my heater next to intake of internal filter or near the return of an external filter. Take temperature readings from the furthest possible point. The other only possibilty i can think of is they are using it as a place of safety, If you haven't already got plants try some, even plastic. the more hiding places the safer they will feel.

08-07-2005 15:41 by davey	From northampton, england. If you have an external filter i would reconmend and external inline heater, I brought a hydor eth and it is brilliant, thats another peice of equipment out of the tank!!!!
