I have a bullhead catfish around 6 inches long in a fifty five gallon tank. Since moving him into such a bigger aquarium, the tank seems so bare except for the minnows and gold fish I have for him to eat.
I was looking at different fish and thought a couple silver dollars would be a great addition to the tank, except I don't currently have a heater set up on it, which they'd need.
I've never had a heater in this tank, I figured that since he was a catfish he was used to cold waters, and he does just fine in it.
I was wondering, would he be fine If I raised his tank from around 72 f to about 79 f
I don't know if this would be bad for him, or if I should try to find a fish that wouldn't need one (except for gold fish and koi/carp (because he eats them))
