My food is long gone. I had a can of soup today and its getting late so I am going to hunt something else. TTYL

I hate those. I usually buy mine off of Amazon. Tank heaters aren't cheap either. I just looked on chewy and they are more reasonable there. I like the solid ones.

I spent a ridiculous amount setting up my betta tanks! I could have had a big huge gorgeous community tank hahah oh well

I’m going to eat my cold “been done an hour” toast I forgot to eat

Ah okay that makes sense. Probably for the best! It’s way too easy to just hit order online

I think I would be dangerous . hahahaa

I saw that. Makes me want to stock up for my 75 and 125.

I have 6 tanks going now.

I have 3 and already thinking of more I probably won’t though because I’m starting to dislike the work involved but I have an empty, brand new 10 gallon plus when I move the goldfish out I will have an empty 20 long AND my mom just found another 20 in the garage (bought it a while ago when I wanted gerbils, moved on from that idea and lost the tank) thinking I may need to just SELL the tanks and extra supplies so I’m not tempted

I think some of the fancy varieties can be prone to fin rot in lower temperatures.

Most fish react to the water temperature. Perhaps slowly lowering your temperatures a bit may slow their reproduction? Just a theory. I know the warmer the tank the higher the metabolism on fish generally.

This, this is my main method of population control. By not heating any of my tanks I slow growth, reproductions, and it also slows the aging process. I have guppies that are easily 3 years old.

Oh yeah pond heaters not aquarium heaters.

It's good to hear it works. It's probably why many cold water species live much longer than tropical fish.
