So, I just got some Thai rainbows, Phillipine Giant blues, and albino n. Americanus from E&A about 2 days ago (and I adore them!)
I did get a heat mat before I got them (just in case) and decided to not use it b/c I'm on the second floor and its can be a bit warmer. Generally our house (in the summer) sits at 67-68F.
I'm running into a problem now where both tanks (one with the rainbows and blues and the other the albinos) are sitting around 66 F. They are still babies (my largest is 1.5in) and prefer 72F generally so I'm worried for that temp!
I've been considering using the heat mat on the wall a little away from them (a few cm maybe?) OR getting a mini space heater to sit near them to help keep them around 70-72F (and I also have a temp monitor I can attach)
What would be better? I can't change the temp of my room (I dont have a thermostat for my room) but I want to help them be a bit warmer
