I have my 5 gallon bow-front tank set up with the bio-filter. All sems to be working well. I bought a stick-on thermostat and a heater for a 2.5-5 gallon tank. The thermometer is reading 84 degrees F. This is after overnight with the lights off and both computers in the room turned off. The thermometer and heater are not near a heat source.
Is this proper temperature or do I have an over-zealous heater or bad thermometer?*SICK*
BTW, I have the 5 stocked w/ 1 Male Betta, 4 Neons ,2 Bloodfins, 2 glolights,1 Clown Loach,1 Panda Cat, 1 Plecotomus and 4 ghost shrimp.
I have a male Betta by himself in a 2.5 bowfront also. I'm considering buying a Cory Cat for him today. I may move a couple of Ghost Shrimp and 1 or 2 fish from the 5 gallon over to him today also.
I'm really enjoying the tranquility of my aquarium hobby.*SUPERSMIL
