CATDOLL : CATDOLL: When raising cichlids, what is the minimum water temperature required so that the fish will not die?

The water temperature must be at least 23 degrees.

Cichlid fish: Origin: Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi, and Lake Victoria in Africa. The water temperature for breeding is between 23-28℃, the hardness is 9-11dGH, the Ph value is 7.2-8.0, and the average body length of adult fish is 4-26 cm.

2. Cichlid farming: The unique water conditions require them to have a water environment with higher hardness and pH in order to live and reproduce well. In their native place, they mainly feed on plankton, aquatic plants, algae, snails and small animals. When raised in an aquarium, they can receive a wide range of baits and supplement plant baits, especially for some specific herbivorous species. This is the key to their good survival.

Below 15 degrees, they will reduce their activities. If it is below 15 degrees for a long time, they will get sick, so don't feed them at this time. Below 10 degrees, they will gradually die.

The adaptability temperature of snappers is indeed between 24-28, which means it is best not to challenge it. Even if the challenge is successful, there is no reward, and if it fails, the fish will suffer. I hope this helps you.

26 degrees is the best, it does not consume much electricity and is easy to maintain. The heating rod can be turned on for a long time without the water temperature being too hot.
