Mollies, guppies, platties, swordtails and algae eaters will all get along together, look nice and will thrive at that temperature.

Keep them at about the middle of that range. Too warm and they don't live as long, they seem to live "faster". Too cold and they don't thrive and don't eat as well as they should. The most important thing is the stability of the temperature. A sudden change of 2 or 3 degrees, even in the middle of the correct temperature range can kill fish or make them susceptible to "ick" and other diseases. One of the best ways to keep the temperature from changing quickly is to get as large an aquarium as possible. A large tank takes longer for a temperature change to occur just like a large pot of soup can stay hot for a very long time but if you take a bowl full it will cool off in about 15 minutes. A heater that adjusts according to temperature (has a thermostat) is another valuable item for keeping your fish alive. It will only turn on if the temperature drops below what you set it for and will turn off again when the aquarium is at the correct temperature. Keep the aquarium away from windows and doors where it tends to be drafty.

Actually, most tropical fish will do quite well at that temperature range. You'll also have to worry less about certain bacterial infections as well (though, algae may be more of a problem at those temperatures).
I regularly keep all my tropical tanks at 78-80 degrees.

That is the ideal range for tropical fish. Actually, it's about 72-80 degrees.

yes, tropical fish need warm water to survive. That is why you put an aquarium heater in the tank so that water doesn't get too cold.

Yes tropical fish can go in any kind. It is saltwater fish that are kinda weird when it comes to temperature and stuff. I have a 45 gallon tank at home. I keep tropical cuz they are less maintenace and tend to live longer.

i might want to signify testing something like a Tinfoil Barb. those hearty Cyprinids will improve to a optimal length of 13 3/4 inches. the in basic terms difficulty is, that they prefer to leap out so that you're going to wish a cover. you'll probable favor in basic terms 2. Or bypass for a number of my widespread catfishes. a million) The "Platydoras costatus" look up with fellow. he's large, non violent and straightforward to safeguard. he will favor a minimum of one different spouse. i might want to bypass with 2 females. 2)The Suckermouth Catfish: large innocuous loner nicely outfitted to a tank of smaller college species or on his personal. you may also evaluate bluegill that are an energetic community fish that thrive in aquariums. you would possibly want to do a touch prognosis on their determination of substrate (mushy and both sandy or silty). yet they seem to be a excitement in a huge tank. perhaps a suckermouth and four-6 bluegill?

You have to put them in warm water. I have a heater in my tank to keep the temperature up when the outside temperature drops
