Question
HI i have a 10gallon tank and i need to know what should the tempeture be for a guppy feeders and if the light is better than a heater pump and does the filter as to stay on for example if i turn the filter off at 10:00p.m and turn it back on at 7:00a.m. is it bad for the fish. Is my first i want to do the right thing for the fish.

Answer
With smaller fish I would use a sponge filter and not a conventional filter as they tend to get sucked up those kinds of filters.  The temperature for guppies can be 75-82 degrees.  I would leave the filter on all the time as it helps with the water toxicity.  dave
