I believe I have a 2.5 gallon tank and our heater is basically over heating the water. I've had it for almost a year and it just started acting up. I can't get to the store tonight and I don't know if I can wait for shipping. :-( Anyone have recommendations for a thermometer and where I can find it? We have a petco, petsmart, and walmart by us. I think we have a tetra thermometer from walmart now.
Also, not many heaters for a 2.5 gallon can over-heat the water. However, in the case that it is, the thermometer that I linked for you will let you know.
Also, your tank is good from temp ranges of 78*F-86*F.
80*F is usually seen as idea.
well we finally got a thermometer today and it was over 90 degrees! we unplugged the heater off and on and we're monitoring the temp till we can get to the store tomorrow.
I know!!! I feel horrible! Since I've unplugged he's been swimming all over. I can't wait to go to the store tomorrow. I think he might be getting a bigger tank too because I feel so guilty! lol
Thanks! I think I changed my av to an updated pic of Angus. I decided to be fish paparazzi tonight lol. He's changed a lot in the past year. I'm so glad he's doing better tonight. I wish we could have gotten the thermometer sooner...hopefully he wasn't in that temp of water too long.
