Additionally if there are any lights on the tank, that will cause a temp fluctuation. I suggest picking up a heater to prevent fluctuations in the tank. ^_^ [hr width='40%']"Put your soul in the water, And join me for a swim tonight"

Swinging temperatures may cause Ick. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
