RE: does the heater bother fish?
Hi Dave,
Your setup sounds far from crude. But you either have a fish room or one of
the fancy British fish houses which makes space heating both efficient and
desirable. Warmer species are kept in top tanks and cooler species near the
floor. It works a treat. I've seen it done for setups over 100 tanks. For
those of us who cohabitate with our fish in homes which are rarely over 68
degrees heaters are a necessary evil. And as I also have several tanks on
line right now and keep and breed 9 genera, I have a lot of experience with
heaters.
Peace,
~RJ~

I have a multi tank set-up (58) tanks and use space heating. This is a fan
heater with a room thermostat. I use Dr. Goldstein's old method of
temperature measurement...if I'm warm enough, so are the fish. Tank heaters
can boil fish, fan heaters can't.
I also have a dimmed room light which is on at night.Saves panicking the
fish when the main light comes on.
If the above seems crude, I breed fish from the following genera:
Aphyosemion, Fundulopanchax, Nothobranchius, Simpsonichthys, Nematolebias,
Pachypanchax, and Pterolebias.I must be doing something right....
