I am not going to use a heater in the tank. I always feel that something could go wrong and kill the life it contains especially in a nano tank. We keep the temperature between 67 and 69 degrees Fahrenheit. Would this be okay?

Note: Average temp: 20 degrees Celsius.

Thanks for the answer, Wander. I'm glad that heaters are not absolutely necessary at that temperature. I really worry about that.

Ive noticed that alot of keepers in the US can get away with not using a heater, its always cold here in the UK so we have to have them.

Thank you, Odin..I will keep a check on temperature to check fluctuations.

Not sure about the shorter lives statement and eat more but the the advantages look about right.

Without proof it's just a guess though, let me know if yours live longer then 20 years and write the results on this topic :p hehe.

Ha. guess you need to take half of the newborns from one mother in one tank and the rest in another. Wow, that is going to be hard to track for 20 years. Especially when the siblings get berried.

Yeah, way too hard to do also .
