Temperature?Fancy Goldfish. - Aquarium Advice

Ady1397 · 01-13-2004, 11:08 AM

im currently holding the temp at 74F.I have a bunch of fancy goldfish and i read that they like water temp of about 75 to 80. should i just leave it alone???

Goldfish like cooler water around 70F or so. 74F is on the higher end of Golfish temp scale. 80F would be pusing it unless you had a specific reason to have the tank that high.

Actually fancies prefer a slightly higher temp then common goldfish; however, commons do best around 74-76F, fancies 74-78F, so your guys should be fine.

I agree. 74F is a fine temp and easy to maintain.

The temperature is just fine. The main concerns are those I pointed out in your other thread. You simply have too many fish.
