When i got it out of the cubboard it was full of toast crumbs -_- bcuz it was under the toaster shelf.. LOL they are still in there. Not sure the heater works yet.. i turn it up to see if that will help heat the water a bit more...

But i dont like that tank

its a pain in the butt to heat and i hate cleaning it

( mum doesn't call me stubborn for nothing

) But It may work if the heater works and stuff till i can get the tank i want... maybe..

YW for the link

i thought it to be interesting.

It's been like that for atleast 40 mins now ithink

 

[SourRoses]

So its at 65 F?

If you're looking for a big temp change it might take 24 hours or so..... I dont know.. What was the approx temp of the water when you turned it on? Any change since then? How many watts is your heater? If they even use watts there.. LOL

Its at 20C which is..... 68F i think

Would adding some Warm water help?

Its a 25W heater.

Hey guys

Wow, keeping fish seems like a really complicated task here

It was a lot simpler with my little glass bowl, back in the day

well these ones are tropical fish

so they need some heat to their water unlike the common cold water goldfish

 

[SourRoses]

LOL... well it can be easy or it can be hard....


Yes adding warm water would help... but then it might not be so easy to see if the heater is working.

25 watts should be enough to hold a warm temp when you have a fishie though... but how many gallons did you say the tank is? 5?

Or one could just fence off a part of the ocean in some areas of Australia

That would be close enough

Just kidding

But yes, I had goldfish.

its 14L, and 4 Gallons is 15L so its just under 4 gallons..

I'll just leave it for another hour to see if there is any temp change

if there isn't i doubt the thing is working.
