guppies crowding heater

[Ace Rimmer]

hey guys just after a bit of advice

due to unforeseen circumstances I dont have a filter for my 5 gallon tank for about 24 hours, the 4 guppies I have in the tank are now all crowding the heater (is this because the water in the tank isn't being pushed around by the filter and they are going there because its warmer

would they normally do this even if I had the filter going?? (I've only had them for 2 days)

the temp is about 80 F

idk m8 is there anything else in the tank for them to swim arround?

I guess when you get the filter - we'll find out

What temp do you have the heater at?? SOme of my tetras did that when moved from one tank to the other....then gradually moved away and explored tank.....maybe using heater as cover??

Sorry, just seen 80 degrees!!

I suggest cover then!!

try putting the heater in horizontally and if you cant get a filter try getting an airstone to circulate the water a bit.
