the weather is getting colder. I am just a little bit worried that my fishes will feel cold.
Will they be fine?
Or...is there any machine or something that could help them?

get a aquarium heater and a aquarium thermometer from your local pet shop or even Walmart fine out what temps your fish need and set the heater to the appropriate settings for your fish just remember setting your heat depends on your fish high 70's is for tropical fish all fish are not tropical so please do your research first!

Absolutely, you may need an aquarium heater. Your fish have a preferred temperture range they like. Most fish are comfortable in the high 70 degee area, 76-78 or so. You can search out your fish and find out what they like. Heaters come sized according to tank volume. Better to get a bigger heater than needed rather than smaller. Submersible types work well. It's easy to do, Good luck, Peter.

If you have a heater in the tank, they should be OK. Monitor the temp (thermometers are cheap). Depending on the kind of fish and where you live, and the size of the tank, you should be fine keeping the temp around 75. The web is a great resource for fish info. I've found tons of info about my Gauramis, and about the Oscars I plan to get next year.
