Answer 2

freezing cold water

Answer 3

Well i never have had to use a cooler for my goldfish, they never have a heater either. My fish seem to not care about the temperature. I mean if it really bothers you, you might want to get a cooler thingy, but i have never had to use a heater or a cooler.

Answer 4

take it away from any windows/ put under a ceiling fan

Answer 5
