Fish Fanatic
Yesterday I did a water change. My betta is still pretty new and I was really stupid and forgot to turn the heater back on. Now I came home to find him hovering on the bottom and looking very feeble when he moves at all. The temperature in the house and of his water is 59 F right now
I immediately turned the heater back on, of course. I really hope I didn't do lasting harm to him!
My question is, should I let the heater raise the temperature, or is that too fast? Or is it too slow and should I do a small water change with say 3F degrees warmer water and repeat that after half an hour or an hour? What is the best way to go here?
I was trying to be so ethical cycling his tank and everything and my bird-brain just undid all that
