which fish doesnt need the heater because i have 2 tanks and only 1 heater

 

[OohFeeshy]

Coldwater. Although most common ones get very large (ie, goldfish)

Well what fish do you have and most fish depends what kind need a heater

 

[william11373]

tell me all the fishes that dont need the heater and i buy them and i dont understand the comic

 

[OohFeeshy]

No, tell us tank size and whats in it.

Also, where do you live (or how cold does it get inside durring the winter)...

 

[william11373]

i live in newyork city in elmhurst. i have a 10 galon tank with just a bunch of rocks i collected in it

 

[OohFeeshy]

So theres nothing in it? Its not big enough for goldfish. You ould very possibly get away with a small group of white cloud mountain minnows and a hillstream loach, but thats it.

wa ??? how much space does a fish need

 

[OohFeeshy]

In the case of goldfish, it depends. Fancies, I'd say about 15g each, depending on the type. Commons and comets, ponds or about 55g minimum.

15 gallons for 1 fish your crazy !!

 

[tttnjfttt]

The general rule is 1" of fish per gallon... Plus, the majority of fish need their water around 75+, so you are even more limited there. Do your self a favor, go to Walmart, and spend 15 dollars on a submersable heater.

wheres the
nearest walkmart where i live ?

 

[tttnjfttt]

no...gold fish grow to be fairly large and are also messy fish, so the inch of fish per gallon rule doesn't apply with them. Keeping them in anything smaller will also stunt them, where they are smaller in size, but their organs will grow to their usual size. These fish are more prone to disease and live shorter lives.
