Maintaining the right temperature in your saltwater aquarium is very important and any fluctuations on the temperature will cause great stress to your fish within your saltwater aquarium.

Saltwater fish normally experience a few changes in temperature in their natural habitat you its ideal if you can copy the natural enviornment in your saltwater aquarium.

As most fish and invertebrates are cold-blooded animals which means their body temperatures are the same as the water in which they live. Their bodies function best at a specific water temperature.

All fishes have temperature preference depending where they came from so try asking your local pet dealer for information. Or better yet, try to read one of the many fish encyclopedias available for the specific temperature.

Also, try not to mix or house fishes that have a very different temperature preference. It will be easier to house the ones that require temperature that are in close range.
