gnasher16 30,121 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 i might get one and stick it in my bio orb.do they get on with goldfish? They are tropical fish mate....goldfish are coldwater Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 ah right cheers mate. ill just stick with the coldwater then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gentle assasin 9 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Bettas can live in a coldwater tank kept at room temperature. Theres a few tropical fish that this applies to. Betta's and zebra danios to name a couple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,121 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 They are tropical fish mate and so benefit from tropical temperatures............anything below about 76 degrees and they will be inactive,susceptible to disease etc...............yes they will survive as will a coldwater fish kept too warm..............but you still wouldnt purposely keep a fish in unsuitable conditions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gentle assasin 9 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Agreed gnasher. Ofcourse they would be better off in a tropical tank.i was just mentioning that they can be kept in a coldwater tank, aslong as the water is at room temperature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 got the bug again,i may need to go buy a smaller orb and get a wee betta tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gentle assasin 9 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Forgive me if im wrong gnasher. But looking at your nano spec tank (the small one) i dont see a heater in it? I do understand what you are saying, but how do the betta breeders, keeping hundreds of fish in jam jars, tank set ups eith multiple dividers keep their fish going strong? They must be doing something right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
