Re: [GSAS-Member] Room temperature tank
If the room is 68F and you set the heater for 70F the electrical use is
minimal if not negligable. Using powerhead type pumps also dispenses the
waste heat into the tank.
Other candidates for 68-70 degrees (I'd like to hear more):
White Cloud Mountain Minnow
Danios
Weather Loach
Bloodfin Tetras
Corydoras
Glass Perch
Most Killifish
Most Gouramis, Paradise Fish
Some Barbs(?)
Most Plecostomus-types
