76* is and ideal temp for most tropicals. Nothing less than 70 or over 80 would be suggested. Penn Plax manufactures a great heater in all sizes. They also make a glass floating thermometer that goes in the water. I don't suggest the kind that stick to the outside of your tank, as they also read the room temperature. Breath on one once and see what happens.

Most tropical fish will do fine in a tank kept at around 70 to 74 degrees. If the water is kept to warm you will start to grow alegea very quickly in your yank to it is best to keep it in the 70 to 74 degree range. I have 4 tropical tanks set up. 125 x 2 , 100 and a 75 gallon tank and they are all kept at about 72 degree's and they have been there like that for several years with with no problems for the tank or the fish.

Dear THOMAS Man,
The temp does depend on the type of fish you have, but also what region you live. For example i live in New England we have had some crazy weather this year the other day it was 60 degrees and today it is 27 degrees this plays havoc on your fish, as well as different types of heating. Wood heat and forced hot air tend to give more of a fluctuation then baseboard heat.
books will tell you to keep your tropical fish between 74 and 80 i usually recommend closer to 80 degrees less chance of a big temp flux and i also recommend it that high for fish that can get ick very easy. Hope this helps you out

24-28 C, It depends on the fish, you would be best to ask your local fish supplier first, as you will need to "SET UP" your aquarium first, put in the water and any products to soften the water and get th Ph right and the bacteria have to be right and of cause the temperature, usually take about a couple of weeks before you can put the fish in, if you try to rush it then you will probably loose your fish and some of them are quite expensive

Not sure what you mean by "tem"--if you mean temperature, then it depends on the kind of fish you have. Some fish, like bettas, do best in temps of about 80F degrees. Others like lower temperatures.

you have to ask yourself where do my fish come from cuz there are many different tropical fish and many temps that they like for instance if you have south american fish id say 72-80 degrees if you have south east asian id say 75-84 degrees and if you have afican like jewled,and brackish water fish id say 75-80 and if you have austrailian fish maybe 70-82 depending on province but to play it safe id go for 74-80 no need to be lower or higher and dont get any gold fish they are exteme-to cold water and like it below 70

It depends on the fish.
Look up the fish you have or the ones you plain on getting and you will find your answer. Most fish usually do well between 70f and 80f
