Glass aquarium thermometer

This glass thermometer is for aquarium keepers who need to monitor water temperature in a tank with cold-blooded fish. Fish cannot regulate their own body temperature, so the water temperature directly affects their feeding and metabolism. The thermometer lets you check that reading at a glance.

Why it matters

• Fish are cold-blooded, so their body temperature follows the water. Their physiological functions slow down as the temperature drops, which makes correct water temperature important for feeding and metabolism.
• The optimal temperature range differs depending on the species' origin, so the thermometer has markings for the optimal range to help you read the result against your fish's requirements.
• The glass body is a simple, direct measuring element that gives a readout without batteries or electronics.
• The suction cup holder allows you to fix the thermometer to the tank wall. Without the holder, the thermometer floats upright in the water.

What it works with

The thermometer is designed for aquariums in the exotic aquatics category, where water temperature is regulated by heaters or cooling equipment from the same category. It is a monitoring tool, so use it alongside your temperature control equipment to check that the actual water temperature matches the range you have set.
