* At temperatures below 12C/55F you should stop feeding your fish, and at temperatures above 12C/55F you should slowly start feeding again.
Temperature control is essential for the health of your fish. A surge in temperature can increase free ammonia levels, decreasing oxygen, and lead to high levels of bacteria that could lead to an unhealthy aquarium.
