A million and one questions, So

[bigjohn]

Stupid as this may sound, as far as I understand, if it don't live in native waters then it's classed as tropical ??

Cold water and tropical is reasonably straight forward, I presume ? But obviously there's fish that are classed as "fancy goldfish" and those that are more specifically tropical i.e. warm water. But when (temperature wise) do fish cease to be "fancy goldfish" and become tropical ??

What's the temperature for "cold water" and "tropical water" ??

John

p.s. if this isn't really in the right forum, please move it (another learning curve, fish forum's - life's so much more straight forward as a regular IT forum user!).

temperature isn't the dividing line between goldfish and tropicals so much as species is.

IIRC coldwater is 65-72 and tropical is 74-82.
