Vallisneria Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I remember reading somewhere that guppies could be kept in tanks without heaters, or at cooler temps. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yes, guppies will tolerate lower temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yes it is true I have known a number of people with un heated guppy tanks, but room temp should be 70 plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P@UL Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 i have a book that says they can live comfortably in 50*F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Does the lower temps hold true for the fancy types also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arixonbarnes Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 The colder the temperature the slower they grow but I doubt they would survive long in the 50 range and probably do very poorly in the low to mid sixties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_Frenzy Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have Guppies in an unheated tank in the coolest room in my house. The temp of the tank is on average 71F-73F and they are perfectly happy. Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
