recommended to have one especially for deep underwater fish

I think for regular fish like clowns or tangs, fans should be alright to keep the temperature around 28 degrees. Just have to watch the evaporation of water.

(assumung you were talking about fish QT). A Fishes motabolism increases with temperature so their resting heart rate will go up as water tempreture increases. Further as tempreature goes up the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases. Certain medications will further deplete the oxygen levels. If a fish has some parasite or infection of the gills it is going to struggle to breathe already, add in the increase in tempreture and well it could be all a little too much.
