A Eheim aquarium heater thermostat (Hunter).
Does the temperature in the tank at 23-24 ° C.
In the hot summer months when the water temperature rises above 26 ° C, I still put a Söchting Oxydator with the basin. Thus, the fish have significantly more oxygen available.
Feeding daily at the same time by automatic feeder Grässlin Rondomatic 400th
