Are your fish behaving strangely with the recent heatwave?

[Heuer]

Seems like not swimming much.
is it normal?
Water temp about 31/32C

too hot bro, try to reduce temp to 28 if possible.. that temp is better for sick fish to recover.

Aerate the tank....

My Gar suddenly develop an interest in the reflection.
And cut back on eating.

And the 2 oscars are guarding leftovers tat nobody wans to eat.

And the rays are chewing and spitting out MP or whitefish.

And - I'm quite sure the water is hotter den normal in the tank. 2 days WC once already .. still not enuff meh

Aerate more to increase evaporation rate. Helps to cool syst

i dun think the increased temperature recently would affect our fish that drastically unless there's not enough aeration / low DO. if there's noticeable diff with your fish behaviour add more aeration. (i'm talking about normal temperate fish like aros, rays etc, not koi or colder water fish)

when i first moved to sengkang i didnt realise the room temperature would be so high during the hot period. plus the fact i was using hailea/evo pumps (bloody pumps give out a lot of heat) saw my temperature going up to 32-34. but my fish were perfectly fine through that period of roughly 2 weeks.... maybe cause each tank was powered by hiblow40.

i changed the pumps to eheim/fluval, added cooling fans and got the temp stable to 28-30. now even in this current weather my temp does not go above 30.

one thing to note though, doing WC in late morning/afternoon = warm tap water... i measured 34 degrees from the tap... so doing more WC wouldnt help if u do it at such timings.

turn on the air-conditioning for the entire apartment whenever I am home.

Electricity bill will hit the roof

If tank is 4ft & bigger
Shouldnt have issue cos water volume is quite a lot

Presuming one doesnt use Heater laaa

I using air driven filter, no issue.
But can keep 1 solo aro only.
