temperature check...

[Edicson]

ok so my tank finally cycled about a week ago. im very excited about it. but now its summer, and it gets hot as hell in my room, i noticed that the tank gets to temp. of about 85 or higher during the day. is this bad for my fish?
the recidents of the tank have changed a little so here is what i have in it for now...

4 neon tetras
1molly
1 male betta
and 1 baby clown pleco (He is about 1 1/2 inch
(they will not stay in this tank for long since i will be upgrading to a 20 long or maybe, maybe a 29g)

i have 3 zebra danios that are on my 1 gallon tank, they are doing me a favor and staying there until it cycles, then they are going back in the 10 g tank

so would any of this fish be harmed by the high temps?

They would be harmed no more than you in 85 degree temps.

You might want to blow a fan over the water surface to see if that brings the temp down.

You might want to look into a chiller, although they can be expensive.

I assume an air conditioned room is not available ? I have seen folks float a plastic bag with some ice to bring the temps down a little.

how much can i get a chiller for, there is an ac in the room i have the tank in but if i was to run it all they long my bill would be high as hell
