TOPIC: Thermostat Broken

Thermostat Broken 4 years, 4 months ago #9772

Hi everyone, I have 2 beautiful oscars. When I got home from work today I noticed the thermostat was cracked in the tank. I immediately went out and purchased a new one but I am concerned as what can happen to my babies. Because the thermostat was broken, is it possible that there could be some poison can can leak out, or do they even have poisionous materials in them? I love my oscars am am worried about them. They seem to acting fine so far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

generally yr heater/thermostat consists of little coils(heat conductive metal)wrapped around a porsiline tube or sumthing like that there shouldnt be any harmfull stuff in there.

i would suggest that u buy a heater cover as its very common for oscars to break the heaters.
DONT BUY ON IMPULSE DO SUM HOMEWORK FIRST

Hey there Michelle. I wouldn't worry about it! But best to get a cover for it if they've already broken one!!
They are very destructive creatures!!

A heater guard is always a must for oscar as sometimes they like to muck about with heaters and this can break them


As far as impurities in the tank, as long as you are doing regular water changes any stuff that leaches into the water will be diluted and removed by the water changes so dont worry
