An aquarium is more than a fascinating piece of nature in your home: it’s also a sensitive ecosystem that requires careful attention and care. Ensuring the best living conditions for your aquarium pets should always be your top priority. And temperature plays a central role in this. In aquariums, it is of crucial importance for your animals and plants and therefore definitely needs to be monitored. Most tropical ornamental fish feel most comfortable at temperatures between 24 and 26 °C. There are, however, also fish that prefer lower temperatures. The discus is a species that flourishes in higher temperatures between 27 and 29 °C. Axolotls and many freshwater shrimps prefer cooler temperatures.
A thermometer for the aquarium is an indispensable tool to ensure your water temperature is always within the ideal range. There’s a lot on the market when it comes to aquarium temperatures, so we thought we would give you an outline of all the thermometers in our range.
