![]() ![]() This temperature will be high enough to encourage strong growth, but without being so high that your fish become stressed by hot water and low oxygen levels. ![]() ![]() If it gets higher, try a small fan blowing on the surface to reduce the heat, but be ready to add water regularly as evaporation will drop the water levels rather quickly. A tank water temperature of between 20C 23C (68 F 74F) is an ideal temperature for goldfish. So, if your Goldies in the low 70's, do sweat it too much. Tropicals are more sensitive to high waste loads.Ĭ) Goldies will eat most live plants, so your tropicals will be missing-out on one of the best looking features of a tank - live plants. Tropicals are more prone to health issues below 76F.ī) Goldies are large fish, large waste and need large tanks to buffer the bio-load. Mixing tropicals and goldies is not recommended because:Ī) Goldies prefer cooler temps. Temps below 56F will produce sluggish goldies, they will be less active, less hungry. Temps from the 56 to 64 are optimal, the goldies will not be hyperactive, they will eat at a better pace and produce less waste, living longer lives. This can lead to a condition called hypothermia, which can be life-threatening if not treated quickly. If your fish is not getting enough oxygen, it may not be able to maintain its body temperature. Oxygen continues to be delivered to the fish when the water is cold. Temps from 68 to 74F (room temp) will keep goldies faily active, but still a little warmer than they need. Common-type goldfish can tolerate water temperatures as cold as 32-40 f. They also get less oxygen in warm water and will probably live shorter lives in the long run. Temps over 76F will result in very active, very hungry, very messy goldies. Now, temperature does affect goldies behaviour: Goldies can survive in 32F (0C) ice-cold water, they simply stop moving and sorta hibernate, and as long as they don't freeze solid, they will revive when it warms up. Goldies are very tolerant to temperatures, as long as they are healthy and the temperature change is not to radical. ![]()
