I came home to a tank that was 98F and going up. Any chance you have ammonia, nitrIte and NitrAte readings for the tank? It may also be that the water isnt' oxygenated enough, does it appear to be gasping for air? ^_^

RESET Fingerling Posts: 17 Kudos: 17 Votes: 0 Registered: 18-Aug-2004	I have no test numbers. The water is VERY oxigenated (tiny bubbles everywhere). The temp is right at 77 degrees just like she likes it. I know she likes current but this is wierd.

Depending on the tank size, a submersible powerhead will provide current, and keep the fish away from the outflow of your HOB . ^_^
