Just like humans, fish are sensitive to water
temperature. Unlike our human bodies that maintain a constant
temp. of 98.6 F, fish are cold blooded. These creature's body
temperature changes based on the condition of the water they live
in. It is very important for the over all health of your fish to
know the water temperature. Before you purchase a thermometer, lets find
out what the water temperature means to your water garden.
What we will be covering in the next six weeks:
1. The body temperature of your fish.
2. Respiration is directly proportional to water temperature.
3. Amount of fish waste is proportional to
temperature.
4. Feeding at the wrong temperature can cause
illness.
5. Your fish breeding cycle is based on water
temperature.
6. Nitrogen Cycle.
In the next six weeks we will be explaining these key
points and helping you understand the effects temperature has on your
fish. Check back for the weekly report. |
