There's a coldwater sub-forum further down the page.
It's not quite as busy as up here, but me and a few others pop in every now and then If it's a new tank I don't see why you sohuldn't post in here though!

Welcome, btw!

There is almost no difference between the care of cold water and tropical fishes. Most of my livebearers are really not tropicals, they are subtropical. In a normal home they do not need tank heaters to be comfortable but they are not cold water like a goldfish. A goldfish can survive an outdoors pond where the surface of the water freezes over in winter. That would kill my unheated subtropical fish. Any questions you may have, besides temperature restrictions, would probably fit just fine here in the tropical discussion areas.
