Valentines Tank...?

[connorsbala]

Hi there,
I have my new crowntail that i bought today on the 14th(valentines day!) in the kitchen,as my mum wanted him.He seems fine but his water feels a lil cold. Vink,who has the same tank,has a hot desk lamp shinning on it,but Valentine doesnt,only the hot air of the kitchen. My plan is that when i wake up,ill put a hand warmer round the tank and at night to put one round it and a towel over it,to hopefully keep it insulated! The hand warmers last for around 30 mins,then you have to put them in boiling water. But they are preety hot!
So,any ideas in how to keep a relatively small tank warm. Theres a plug round on the otherside of the sink,but i dont think its a good idea having wires near water huh!

Desk lights dont give enough temperature stablility, I think from your other pics you have a 2.5g tank? the green tinted one? A 25w heater is fine

my guys don't have heaters. as long as your house is warm, heater's arent needed. my room (where my boys are) is around 75F and they're doing great.

I have a heater in Fliks tank but not in Valentines or Vinks,whos are smaller. The desk lamp raises the temp to around like 26 degrees celcius +! Hopefully VAlenitne will be alright cause the kitchen is quiete warm

Even if its a smaller tank a heater is much better you can get them for smaller tanks as well http/www.aquatics-online.co.uk/catalogue...ting-cables.asp scroll down to NeWattino and Hydor Mini Heater
