[Goldfish prefer warm water?]

I have some serious concerns about some “advice” some people are giving in a very large fb group called Fish Tank Talk.

there are individuals that are advocating for use of heaters for goldfish based on some research that some guy found over the years. After skimming over it, most research was done on common goldfish and to see if they would prefer to be in warmer over colder water.

I am personally not a seasoned keeper of goldfish, particularly fancy goldfish but I know that there are negative long term effects for goldfish if kept at higher temperatures.

does anyone have any studies or research references to back this one up?

 

thank you.
