white minnow temperature

[trout_pout]

I am getting a tank soon, with a load of fish which live in temperatures 24 - 26 (degrees C) I have been told by my welsh friend that the minnows live in temps 18-19, I'm wondering what to do because I really want minnows, but I don't want to go out and buy another tank, filter, heater just for them...not sure what to do




someone please help me!!!

I have mine in my 38 gal at a temp of 76 to 78 degrees F. I've had no problems with them at all.

Cool fish - I'm really enjoying them.

I currently keep my white clouds @ 70-75 degrees F. They are hardy little fishes. Hope you get some, they are spunky little guys.

White minnows should have a temperature between 18 and 22 degrees C. They can live in higher temperatures, but they seem to slow down and get less active. I've heard (but can't prove) that higher temperatures may shorten their life span.

*shrug* It's up to you really.
