Increasing Temp in Aquarium

[g2orange]

I need to increase the temp in my 29g aquarium. I'm sort of doing some major changes getting ready for a ropefish. I've been keeping my temp at 77F and would like to keep it at about 82F. I have a pleco and a red serpae tetra. My other fish are getting moved to another tank because they won't like the higher temp. How long should I take to slowly increase the temp?

Thanks

I increased the temp in one of my tanks 10 degrees in about 3-4 hours..probably not good to do but i was anxious to kill ich..i didnt lose anything

you can raise it as fast as you can....but cooling it down is what you have to watch out for

Never raise or lower your temps to quickly and also the tettra and pleco should do just fine in 82f.

A jump from 77f to 82f should be done in slow and small increases throughout the day. But if there's no fish in there then you could crank it up.

if you want a happy serpae tetra you should have at least six.
