Stickleback
Aquarium Advice Regular
Apologies, I have asked this in the Coldwater section, but just realised it might be equipment related.
Can anyone advise me if it is possible to maintain the temperature of an aquarium at around 8 degrees celsius?
My children have kept some native fish, sticklebacks, and I think maybe one is a Stone Loach, for 4 months now, and they are taking a great interest in it.
If you are interested, they have a YT channel, and here is one of their Stickleback videos
My problem is, they are keeping the tank in their own shed, which isn't insulated, and I am slightly worried that now that we are coming into winter here in Northern Ireland, the shed might get down near freezing point.
I think they might thrive better at around 8-10° Celsius 46-50° F
The only aquarium heaters I can find have a lower limit of 18° C, 64°F
Could a normal aquarium heater plugged into a standalone thermostat work at the lower temperatures?
Has anyone else had this problem? Or has anyone any advice?
Thanks in advance
