Coldwater Fish , in the context of an aquarium, refers to fish species that prefer cooler water temperatures than average tropical fish, usually below 20 ° C (68 ° F). Some examples are koi fish and goldfish. These species tend to grow more slowly and live longer than fish that live in warmer waters, and generally find it easier to keep.
Coldwater fish are fish such as goldfish, koi, and other members of the goldfish family who are able to survive in cold water temperatures. When housed in a household aquarium, they do not need a heater and are quite comfortable at around 60 ° F (15 ° C). This fish is also a desirable option for outdoor pools and can withstand temperatures of up to 10 ° C.
