Still, as Cory discusses in the above video, aquarium heaters tend to be overused.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why? Your Cory Catfish are hardier than you think, and they can do fine for a long time in lower temperatures. Even in the wild, especially during nighttime, temperatures can drop significantly.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you use a heater, in the end, is up to you &#8211; I personally use heaters to maintain a stable temperature and just feel more comfortable knowing I have an extra backup if needed.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to save on energy, you can set your heater at the same temperature as your room temperature so that it will only turn on in emergency circumstances. This way the temperature in your tank will remain stable.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to take into account is the other stock. Even within the Corydoras genus, there are more sensitive species. Cory Catfish might do fine in these lower temperatures, but certainly not all fish do.<\/p>\n<p>The last thing to consider is whether you should use a heater or not are your plants. <a href=\"https:\/\/keepingcatfish.com\/best-plants-for-cory-catfish\/\">Aquatic plants<\/a> grow faster in higher temperatures, and some can even be sensitive to big fluctuations. In a well-planted setup maintaining a higher temperature are a good choice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9835fe6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9835fe6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What happens in water that's too cold?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55f906d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"55f906d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As we discussed above, most Cory Catfish species are rather hardy.
