Well, I know room-temp is OK for them. I set up my aquarium, got the temp to remain at 78* for my future neons.
The LFS offered to "rent-a-fish" to me - they'll give me 4-5 feeder goldfish for $.10 each. I can put them in the tank to cycle, and take a water sample in and they'll test it for free. Once I am cycled, I can return the feeder fish for $.10 each credit, and get the neons and whatnot that I want.
My question is, can I leave the tank at 78*? If not, it's no big deal I suppose, I can unplug the heater and just let it drop to room temp, now that it's set, I can plug it back in and be right on the money or darn close with little adjustment.
So, what do you all say? Think they'd be OK in that temp? No? I think I am going to pick them up tomorrow afternoon.
