how to keep aquariums cold?

its insanely hot where i live right now and i checked my tanks temprature yesterday and it was around 40 degrees in each of my tanks which include tetras/kuhli loaches which is obviously really bad and i got scared so i just changed about 40% of the water in both tanks, my fish are okay now but the temprature went up again (about 35 degrees in each tank) and i dont know how to keep it cold

i did turn off the heaters yesterday as they were still on

Weird watery poop

My pigeons poops the last few months have just looked a bit bad? And im not sure if theres something i should do like take her to the vet or if its just a food issue

My female pigeon just pooped a very watery poop (2nd picture) and shes also a bit late with her eggs and her last egg batch had 1 normal egg + 1 tiny egg, this had never happend before in the 1 year ive had her but shes often laid just one egg or a normal egg batch of 2.

4th egg is another example of a weird poop shes laid (this was a little ago tho)

Her food consists of versele-laga prestige dove seed + grit/redstone and fresh water daily

I just wanna know if this is something i should be worried about or no?

What do i do? sick/dying goldfish

my goldfish suddenly starting to lose his balance and i dont know what to do please help

​

hes been sick for about 2-3 weeks and ive been treating him for the past 12 days with a daily epsom salt bath and he went from bad to better to worse and now hes losing his balance and just backflipping through the tank and i dont know what to do, i noticed him being a little more off when i turned on my lights today but since like a hour its been like this i dont know what to do

​

ive bought him a airstone , checking ammonia/nitrite/nitrate very often , daily epsom salt baths

​

i noticed about 2 weeks ago that his scales were pineconing and i went on here to ask what to do cause im not good with sick fish at all and got told daily salt baths + airstone would probably be the best thing i could do right now so i did and he did look better for a few days but since yesterday he looked more off and his scales went worse again and now hes just sadly sitting at the bottom and when he tries to swim he just goes sideways all weird (like in the video)

​

only thing ive done with him today/changed in the tank is done his daily salt bath with him and changed 2 gallons of water (its a 50-55 gallon tank) and i make sure to dissolve the salt before i add it (i mix it in a seperate cup for like 10 minutes just to be sure)

Thoughts on aquarium divider?

i have 2 goldfish and one has been quite mean to the other goldfish who is currently recovering from pineconing and i just feel like the stress is too much on my sick/recovering goldfish from being chased almost nonstop and i was wondering if getting a divider might be a good solution? i know with bettas a divider is horrible and these are goldfish but i just want to make sure before i order it

​

i dont really have the money or space for a 2nd good sized aquarium right now so its really just my only option right now

​

the tank is a 55 gallon and ill add a airstone each side + filter each side

​

(this is like the first picture i saw on google but its a example)

Pigeon scared/aggresive towards me

I got both my pigeons on june 23th 2025 and since then ive been able to hardly make any progress with them getting to trust me, i have a male and female the male is the scared/aggresive one and the female is less scared and will jump onto my arm if i wait a little (she isnt aggresive either shes only pecked me when i went near her nest but she had eggs so that makes sense) though if i go near her with my hand she still runs away pretty fast, the main problem is with my male pigeon he just doesnt trust me and full on bites me and wing slaps me non stop (he bites HARD im suprised he hasnt made me bleed yet) if i even try and get near to change the food for example or even try to give him a peanut (which they love), and im just a bit lost on what to do cause i love him a ton but hes just scared of me and doesnt like me

Extra info:

their cage is in my room and im in there almost 24/7 literally so its also not like he never sees me i try to talk to them , give them treats very often , try and train them (at the moment the "training" is just flying to my hand , and im in the cage often to do maintenance (fully clean the cage twice a week and spotclean throughout the week) and ofcourse i refresh their water/food/grit daily

Info about pigeons:

the black one is a 5 year old female and the brown one is a 1.5 year old male which is the black ones son but they are bonded and have made fertilized eggs (switched them out with fake ones very quickly)

Cage size: 180x70x180 (in centimeters) also a picture shown
