Read About Choosing Aquarium Heaters

For your fish that require a heat source, selections of aquarium heaters are available for you to choose from.

Things to Consider:

  • Setting the temperature -- Aquarium heaters act as thermostats and can be set at the appropriate temperature that you wish. The types of fish you have in your tank will determine the correct setting.

  • Thermometer -- Be sure to have an aquarium thermometer handy so that you can monitor the temperature of your water at all times.

  • Bacteria and algae -- Warmer water can provide a nice environment for certain bacteria and algae. Have a good water conditioner or bacteria killing formula handy to maintain the health of your aquarium.
