Ah, winter has come, and Christmas is near!
Yet my 10 gallon is not in good shape! My three Platys have ich, I would say, judging by the spots, about 40% into that stage. One of them, the one with the sickness nobody could solve, probably started it due to stress.
My parameters are as follows, I use the API kit-
Ammo- 0
Nitri- 0
Nitra- 10-20
PH- 7.6
So, I also have no heater in this tank. Bad idea, I know. My lights keep the tank at 82 in the day and with them off the tank is at 78 in the night. I live in Florida, so I didn't think the 10g would be an issue. Oops.
Anyways, I'm getting a heater tommorow from Petco. What is a good heater, $25 or under, that they carry?
Also, the water drops to 75 at night now due to the cold. Would it be ok to leave my tank lights on tonight (heat)? Or will it stress the fish?
Thanks,
QP
