Best Temp To Keep Betta And Platy At

[marieukxx]

I have 3 platy and in a week am getting one male Betta. What's the best temp for both of these? I was thinking 25. I am currently at 24 for my platy.

Also what's the best time of day for feeding fish?

Thanks

Didn't you decide not to go for the Betta?

Anyway, they're both fine at 24C and 25C. I prefer to keep fish at the lower end of the range so they live for longer, which is why I would probably leave it at 24C. Also most aquarium thermometers and heaters can easily be out by 1-2C in either direction.

I prefer to feed morning and evening, all they can finish in 30 seconds, one day per week without food. You probably want to keep the feeding to no more than once per day (30 seconds to finish everything), until you figure out if your filter is cycled. It can take the whole week for you to figure that out.

decided against guppies and to go for one male Betta as someone on here said they keep platy and Betta together fine.
