Okay this is kinda nuts haha. For one, it's not about loving the fish more, it's about giving them an appropriate environment, which includes temperature control and stable temperature equal to their natural habitat. I'm not sure how that's not understandable. Does she seriously think it's not fair to set their heater at 78 but keep your home thermostat at 68?Please R2R - help me save the marriage. Been bitter cold this winter and the fuel bills are crazy. Wife complaining that the aquarium (78 degrees) is warmer than the house (67 degrees). She says she is freezing and the fish laugh at her every time she walks by the aquarium.
Looking for some creative ways to:
1) Get the fish to stop taunting her
2) Explain humans are more temp tolerant
3) Save energy/save money
4) Reduce heating bill but keep wife warm
5) Anything that will help save the marriage and avoid my sleeping on the sofa!
Please help,

If you get a big enough tank then your wife could swim in it and it will feel like she is in the Caribbean.Please R2R - help me save the marriage.

Exactly what we've done. More layers and as an added bonus heated toilet seats. She'll never complain again.Okay this is kinda nuts haha.

Some options for keeping your home warm that I use in my own space w/o increasing the thermostat (I also have mine set to 68):
Shades/blinds/curtains fully open to let the sun and warmth it brings in during the day.
Wear warm clothes.
Use a nice blanket -- you can buy a weighted and/or heated blanket for sleeping.
Aside from the blanket, my bedding is super comfy and warm to the point where I sometimes have to push it off at night until I get cold again.
There are probably others I'm not thinking of now and will almost instantly think of after I hit "post reply."
Edit: I did...
Houseplants add humidity and that makes it feel more warm.
And running a humidifier -- like someone else said, you can use RODI water in it.
Smart man!!!I don't like lying to the wife... So I invested in a really comfortable sofa
