Hot and cold water fish together

In the summer in some pet stores they have, in their aquariums, fish of different kinds in the same place, sometimes tropical or hot water fish of different species but, also, sometimes, perhaps because it is known that there are fewer or because they know they are not going to fight, cold-water fish with hot-water fish.

Fish, in the summer time do not usually have a heater on because the heat of the environment is enough to keep them warm in itself and it is a saving that entails. That is why some try to buy fish of both species and try to adapt them to their aquarium, but can you have hot and cold water fish together?

If I tell you the truth, everything will depend on the luck and strength of the fish themselves. There are cold water fish that can adapt to having a higher temperature than they usually have while warm water fish can adapt to having a slightly lower temperature than normal. However, all this has to be carried out from a young age, which is why many wait for the offspring. de peces to be able to buy.

The young, being small, are more delicate but adapt better from the start. The technique is to gradually adjust your temperature, not all at once. For example, if your temperature is 22 degrees, we will lower that temperature little by little to about 20 degrees or so. And the same would be raising it for cold water fish.

As I told you, it is not an easy thing to do and the fish will most likely die in the process. That is why many consider it difficult to have fish of two such different species together. So I'll tell you: difficult is, impossible, no.

    I also have mixed and I never had problems, they adapted very well, what's more I have offspring of a couple of guppies, 10 were born, separated in their farrowing pen, with the heater of 25 to 27 degrees, and the largest are growing more and more happy my fish tank is 100 liters, I have 2 Goldfish, 2 Shubunkin, 4 Zebra, 1 Harnischwels Catfish of 10 cm. They clean the bottom and the windows, and one that looks like an Anguilla that also cleans I don't remember what it's called. If you take care of them with love and there is peace in the house, they adapt.
