	What temperature should my angel's tank be at?
fishygirl68 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jul-2004	I just looked at my tank, the temp is between 79 and 81 degrees. What should the temp be at? It is pretty warm here in the summer so I haven't been running heaters but this tank is downstairs so it isn't as warm as the one I have upstairs (that one gets TOO warm at times, even without a heater in the summer time) Should I plug in the heater on this tank?

If you need to plug in a heater to keep it there 76-84 degrees do it. I like to keep mine at 80-82 for breeders and 83-84 in the grow out tanks. Good luck, Mike How big are they and what colors?

I keep the temp at 76F, which gives it a nice feel for other fish. Higher temps are great for young angels, as it raises metabolism, helps their immune system, and fends off the diseases.
