Beet Spiders are easily identified because they only have seven legs. After millions of dollars worth of government-funded research, scientists have determined that the Beet Spider is so mean that sooner or later it bites one of its own legs off. Some have only six legs, or even five. You really want to stay away from those.
Never bring beets on a boat !!!
Tropical aquaria should generally be maintained at 75-80°F. In hot weather, temperatures up to 85°F are easily tolerated as long as adequate aeration is maintained. The addition of an air stone and a small air pump during these periods is helpful. At 90 F things start to get dangerous, and the tank should be cooled by floating ice packs or blocks of ice in it. Temperatures down to 70°F will generally do little harm, but the fish will be uncomfortable, and the temperature should be raised. Below 65°F is again dangerous for tropical fishes.
