Do Angelfish and Neon Tetras Need a Heater?

Angelfish

  • Ideal water temperature: 75–84°F (24–29°C)
  • Minimum water temperature: 70°F (21°C)
  • Heater required: Yes

Angelfish are tropical fish that need warm water. If the temperature drops below 70°F, they can become stressed and susceptible to disease.

Neon Tetras

  • Ideal water temperature: 72–82°F (22–28°C)
  • Minimum water temperature: 70°F (21°C)
  • Heater required: Yes

Neon tetras are also tropical fish that require warm water. A heater is needed to maintain the ideal temperature range.
