[MewMew42]

I lost my ram and a minnow as well as a baby guppy =[

I have a fan on in my room [its too bulky to put near the tank] the window is open, i have an airstone going aswell as others

what else can i do!?!?

I dont want the temp to be bouncing around if i put ice cubes in or something....is that my only option?

its nearing 30C help!

Ps i thought i was in tropical fish discussion....oops

Get a small fan and point it down on the water.

I don't believe this will help... fans make US feel cooler because they blow air at us to make sweat evaporate off our bodies, and a breeze always feels cool.. it's not the same to water, you aren't blowing the fans ON the fish or anything, it's not going to make it cooler especially if they're already running a bubble stone which is basically doing the same thing the fan is but from the other side.

I've heard of people tossing in ice cubes... apparently the fish like to play with them. I've never needed to try. You might want to try that.

A fan will make it cooler, lots of people use this method myself included and it works.
