Right Temperature for your Saltwater Aquarium
Maintaining the right temperature in your saltwater aquarium is very important. Fluctuations on temperature will cause great stress to your fish.
Saltwater fish normally experience a few changes in temperature in their natural habitat.
So you would want to copy the natural environment and maintain a constant temperature in your aquarium as much as possible.
Again, the requirement is to maintain the temperature to 75°F - 79°F. This range is dependent on the type of fish or any species you choose.
Most fish and invertebrates are cold-blooded animals. It means that their body temperatures are the same as the water in which they live. Their bodies function best at a specific water temperature.
All fishes have temperature preference depending where they came from (out in their natural world).
Try asking your local pet dealer for information. Or better yet, try to read one of the many fish encyclopedias available for the specific temperature of your specific pet.
Also, try not to mix or house fishes that have a very different temperature preference. It will be easier to house the ones that require temperature that are in close range.
