What degree should I keep my fish tank at is 82 to high?

Question

(I have guppies and one is pregnant)

Answer 1

anything between 72-82 degrees is fine for guppys. They are quite hardy and can tolerate fluctuations in tank conditions. Don't be worried, the babies won't be cooked or anything. Warmer water is probably what got your fish pregnant in the first place. Keep your eye on your guppy for when the babies come. The adults WILL eat them.

Answer 2

That's actually the perfect temp, especially for a pregnant guppy

It should always be between 76-82 degrees, so you're fine

Hope that helps
Good luck

Answer 3

82 is a perfect temperature for the female to drop her fry if she is ready, however, it is a bit high for her other tankmates and if she is still a few days away, then I would bring it down to 78-80. That may not seem like a lot, but fish are a lot less tolerant of heat than we are.

Answer 4

As long as it's over 72 but no higher than 79, then you're fine. Guppies and other tropical fish don't care about the temperature, as long as it's not too cold and not too hot.

Answer 5

Guppies don't need a heater. If you insist on heating the tank, 78 degrees is ideal.

Answer 6

82 is too high. I've done so before. They become very hyper, wanting to eat and breed alot. Also increase a chance of diseases spreadign throughout.
