Take some water out…about 2/3 of the tank and replace it with water that is just cool to the touch..sounds like you have a faulty heater. I don’t usually use one for goldfish..they can withstand pretty cool temperatures unless they are tropical goldfish. I have an 85 gallon tank with tropical fish and don’t ever use a heater. It seems every time I have used a heater it fry’s my fish. I have had this tank for 10 years and have had one fish (a shark) for the whole amount and time and is very healthy and very big.

Goldfish are cold water fish and do best when the water in their aquarium is between 60 and 65 degrees. It would be best to not warm the tank up.
Just make sure that it is not sitting in front of a window where the sun will hit it. The constant warming and cooling of the water will be quite bad for the fish. Not to mention the algae that will grow to epic proportions.

You could take the inside of a kettle out and stick it into the tank and then plug it in.

Goldfish are coldwater fish, so unless it’s actually freezing in your house they should be fine.
Is the temp inside your house above 61F (15C)? If so, the fish will be fine.
If you’re worried, you can try putting a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel on the outside of the tank, this will raise the temp slightly (and slowly) – but I really don’t think you need to.

Goldfish prefer cool water. As long as the water is not near freezing,they should be fine. You should not ever change the temperature of fishes water quickly. That will put them into shock and probably kill them.
ok the best thing is put your fish tank on the stoveno no dont do it i was kidden lol ok yes goldfish are cold water fish and get a good heaterif you want heres the thing no one has told you although they like cold water there bodies slow down so they dont eat or move arround as much but it wont hert them they wont freeze in your house dont worry but heres the thing if you keep your tank always to about 73 with your goldfish it helps pervents deisases and they water temp wont flexuate because heres the diffrence i took mine out had minein my tank for 2 years they get use to it so when i took it out they went crazy and got ick so i put it back in and there fine now its up to you but flexuation of your water isnt that good for them because the temp is always changing and can stress them out a littel put some oranges in there they love them grate vitamin c and a littel tip for you k if you want to keep them from getting gas or swim bladder dont feed them flakes feed them sinking pellets . only feedevery other day only a littel bit not much they dont need to eat everyday its too much and its just a waste and makes your tank duirty i had my goldfish for 3 years now and they dont mind the heat at all get the kind of heater i have a whisper heater

You can either buy a heater or turn on the light for a long period of time. However, if you leave it on too long, it can start a fire.
