Hello Can someone tell me what the ideal temp is for a general community tropical tank please? I did have discus so had the tank at 30c but now I don’t - I just have general fish i.e. neon’s, plec, lemon tetras, clown loach etc etc I believe that if you keep is high it keeps disease away. What’s best please? |

a high temp means a faster metabolism,some fish prefer higher temperatures,in some cases a cool tank is advantageous ,when adding new stock too lower aggression for example ,if you give some corys too high a temp they will die ,but 22-26 is usually suitable for most tropicals,careful tank management keeps disease away |

26c is fine for most tropicals |

24-26c is what mine is kept at |

yes 24-26 is fine and when you do a waterchange with the dip in temp you have a fluxation in temp wich will trigger spawning with most fish |

I will turn it down a little then. Thanks. |
