What kind of fish are you keeping?

I have a few red parrots, a few chichlids like the blue dolphin, a few gouramis and loaches, a scat and an elephant nose

They all seem to be comfortable at the present 30 - 35 C...

Kindly advice !

30-35 C is way too high. 26-28C is the range you should be shooting for. I keep my tanks just above 26C.

30º isnt that high, depending on what fish you have in the tank. 35º is to hot though.

27º is a good place for most tropical fish.

30C is about the upper limit I would ever recommend.

In addition to being higher than normal, 30-35 is a very large range. If your heater will not keep the tank at a more consistant temp I would recommend replacing it.

Are you heating the tank to those temps or do you live some place with high temps at this time of year? Higher temp. water holds less oxygen & can stress fish especially if overstocked. What is the tank size? It can help to create more surface movement by lowering the water level, adding a power head or having a fan blow over the surface.
