Help, Iām hearing a lot of different things and different ideas. My tequila sunrise died after 2 days. My dumbo guppy died day before yesterday, I had to replace them both with same type of fish. I got my water sample tested both times and they told me the water was fine. They kept telling me to get a heater. I finally picked up a 15 w flat heater, now some are saying there going to be too warm? I looked at the thermometer and it was showing about 78. Any ideas? I need help as Iām brand new with this and Iām losing sleep over this. Iāve wrapped a thick towel around tank and it seems to be helping, I also keep my air conditioner off Down stairs so temp doesnāt drop lower that 79/80 in the room. I know itās gonna get cold, what watt heater is ideal? I ready 5 watts per gallon somewhere now the reviews say that Aqueon 15 watt is too much for 3.5 Gallon tank. Iāve been adding bacteria starter everyday. Ive conditioned the water also and changed 30+ percent of water Monday after 1st one died. Today is Friday Iām planning to change water today. Any ideas suggestions?
