Dear all,

Can anyone advise of the best temperature to keep my tank at?

At present I have Zebra Danios, but am planning to introduce Cardinal Tetras
and Guppies at a later stage.

I just want to know the best temperature to suit all.

Many thanks

Although I know they are all very adaptable, I generally try to keep
Cardinals in warmer water (over 74F and soft) and Guppies in cooler water
(under 80 and hard). At the shop, the Cards were kept around 78F and the
Guppies at 75F (but at home, my Guppies are rarely under 80F lately). I
find 77F is a good median for the majority of tropical fish.

Tetras like soft, acidic water. Guppies want hard, alkaline water and in
my experience will not survive in a soft water tank. May be you can find
some middle ground (apparently tetras do not mind some raise in
hardness, although they may not breed).
