Default Under the tank reptile heaters, wil they work for fish?

I was wondering if anyone had used this as a heater for a fish tank
before. Let me know. Some one earlier was worried about it cracking
the glass, but this heater only goes to 95 F and has been on the
underneath side of the tank for two years now and hasn't shown any
signs of cracking. THanks,

Ben


My fiance keeps blue phase white's tree frogs, so I know what your talking
about, but honestly I dont' think it would add an significant heat to the
water, as I think the water would be moving too fast for the invection to
work, and you'll probably need a regular heater instead....

I also keep gecko's and snakes and use the under tank heaters. I have
never had a bit of trouble with them either, but I have to agree that
they do not put out enough heat for the typical tropical fish. Try some
of the fish that like cooler water, unless you want to pick up a small
heater for your tank.

Just make sure you wash the things that you had in with your gecko very
well before you add them to the fish tank.
