Inspired by the pH thread
I hear all sorts of bad things about keeping the water too cold for bettas. Dory's temperature stays a constant 83 degrees. I know some people keep it less than this... doesn't bacteria usually flourish in warmer water? But then again the warm water helps Dory's metabolism and ability to fight off illness.
Basically what I'm asking is.... is 83 degrees too warm?
