What are pet chinchillas like?

What happens if a Teddy sits in air conditioning?
Teddy dogs easily catch colds from air conditioning because of the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors.

How to keep fish cool in summer at home?
Do not place the tank in direct outdoor sun; add shade over fixed ponds and plant aquatic plants. Ensure enough oxygen because heat lowers dissolved oxygen and raises bacteria activity, so prepare an air pump. Feed a bit more nutrition but avoid overfeeding.
