Warmer weather
 |
Well its finally warming up here and I’m being watchful of the fish tank. The heater has been out and on the chilly nights I turn my electric heater in his direction. But during the day I’m starting to get worried. This is my first summer with fish and i hope everything goes well. It can get quite hot here, but hopefully it will be alright. So what do you guys do for the warmer weather months, as to keeping your Betta happy and healthy?

I know what ohio weather is like believe me. i live in kent, ohio. the summer heat shouldnt bother them, water is typically 15-20 degrees cooler, even in direct sunlight.(i don’t know if adding chemicals changes this though.) plus bettas like a warmer tank normally 70-73 degrees is perfect for them! but if you get really worried about him, move him to a shady spot in the house.

Ive had bettas for years now, senes the age of 12 and now im going on 20. The best way to keep track of everything is getting a thermometer for your tank. There cheap and will help you be 100% sure if the water temp is right for them. Im from Chicago, and in the winter i have heat, and summer i have a/c the climates a little different but try to keep their water between 70-74. They still are tropical fish so a little heat wont bother them, but as hardy as they are the cold most of the time does.
