Hey Guys!

if you check my aquarium info, I have a 15 gallon aquarium, currently home to 3 Cherry Barbs and 3 Glowlight Tetras. My aquarium is placed between my house entrance door and the windows. My windows are always opened during the day to let air in and out. I live in Malaysia, which is currently a hot country.

My water temperature stated in my thermometer is 30 to 32 degrees celcius. Cherry Barbs and Glowlight Tetras are suitable in temperatures at about 25 to 28 degrees celcius, right? So how do I lower the water temperature? I've tried putting ice cubes several times but the temperature unfortunately went up again! What should I do?

its a daily process in such hot temps...try floating some larger frozen water bottles..they last longer

im not sure how much an aquarium chiller goes for, but if its worth the money, it might do the trick for you.

Also, ive never been to Malaysia, so im not sure what kind of fish stores you have there, but im sure you could find a chiller.

OH. I've seen a few here before around 30 us dollars for a simple one, which is the cheapest I could find in my area. In Malaysia, the local aquarium stores aren't as good as the ones in the U.S as I was told, so yeah. That's how the stores are like in Malaysia. Hope you come to Malaysia some time, happening place to be especially in the city, KL.
