Hi! I’m new to this forum! I have a fish tank which is 5 gallons, im still going to add 2 more hides to it though. And i am planning once the ph balance gets good I’m planning to get my fishes! I know this is a saltwater fish forum, but I’m getting freshwater fish since it’s my first time having fish exept for a beta I had years ago.


here’s my tank pic! So far . I’m panning to get 2 guppies, 1 platy, and a ghost shrimp

HELLO!

 

[new fish owner!]

Could I ask a quistion?

 

[new fish owner!]

so, the thermometer in the tank says 70 and it stays at 70-71. we can’t find a good heater for the tank, so how can I get it warmer without using a heater? The fish need a 70-80 temp.

Welcome Soph! Ask away, that is what forums are for.

welcome to the show.

Since you are keeping freshwater, there are some people who think a heater is not needed. As long as you keep away from windows.

 

[new fish owner!]

Oh ok . There’s a window right beside the tank like on the Wall.
is That bad?

My tank is on a table on a wall, and on the other wall there’s a window that shines on the tank, do I need to move the tank?
