Bmac Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi , My name is Brett and I'm new to this forum . And I am having trouble with my goldfish and I think it may be related to the tank temperature. Please let me know what is a proper temperature for them . Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I kept mine at room temp so about 18C . I used a heater to prevent it dropping below that. But what's your trouble and what type of goldies ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 most goldfish do fine somewhere between freezing temps, and low 80's. they are a cool water fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi Flumpweasel , Sorry about the delay was outside working on the snowblower . Yes they are fancy goldfish that I got locally , I live in Maine USA , and I turned the heat down to 68 -70 degrees Fahrenheit , I,m not sure what that works out to Celsius. But anyways I will keep you up to date on their progress, Take Care, Brett Hi petty o , Thank you for the advice . Take Care, Bmac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 In a heated house they are generally good a room temp my fish was over 20 when I added a heater which was to treat ick (much easier in warmer water) and then left it in to protect against my miserly attitude to heating when I'm out or away. Checked a converter and 18C is about 64f so your in the ball park. If your dropping temp try to do it slowly only a couple of degrees each day. Just to be on the safe side.

StanF Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I don't have a heater in my tank and just let it stay at room temp. The room varies from around 65F in the winter to 75F in the summer. I have seen youtube videos where people have said that if you put in a heater and keep the temp at 72F - 78F, it speeds up their metabolism and helps them to digest food better and grow faster.
