Sounds like a plan.

Why shouldn't I do a water change? Not that I have time this minute anyway, since I'm going to be leaving to take some fish back to the store soon.
I believe Fish-Addict was saying not to do a water change to increase temperature, most fish are very sensitive to drastic temperature changes.
Who said anything about a drastic change. I said warmer. If you can't do that then all the ppl that put ice bottles in their tanks to cool them are wrong.
I keep my sewellia lineolatas in 80° water, have for over 5 years. They breed all the time at that temp. Good luck.
I wasn't referring to a drastic change, I was referring to the fact that unless you can maintain a constant temperature there's no point messing with it. What's the point in filling a tank with warm water only to let it get back down to cold again? The answer - none. The fish would be much happier if you let the water stay at a constant temperature than keep messing with it; let it rise naturally, and slowly.

She's worried about her fish being cold. A warm up with water change will keep the tank warm because I presume the room temp. will rise during the day. Posting arrows and saying don't do that is a little vague. I'm sorry if I'm mistaken.
Slowly removing foot from mouth lol.
