Will the fishes survive without filter all nights

[aquarium fish lover]

If the tank had some clowns and some invertebrate such as anemone will they survive one night that without filter cause our area has no power tonight
Other than using battery powered pump,what other thing that's we can use as a pump/filter?

You need to keep the water oxygenated, so a battery operated air pump. I think they'd be okay with that.

But will they survive without oxygen for one night?

You can use a wooden spoon or something similar to agitate the surface of the water say every few hours and you should be fine.

The answer is maybe. Mine went a night without it... Would I tempt fate again? No.

But when it is at night,what should we do?

Gamble. Or don't. Maybe hire a petsitter to stay up all night?

through out the day. This comes from a supplier in Cal. where I used to get my fish I had the same thing happen lost power for days and lost a lot of fish when I explained how I lost them he told me all I had to do was agitate the water and they would have been fine

you can also purchase one of the battery operated air pumps... Some of the more expensive ones will even turn on automatically when you lose power.

IMO I wouldn't try it without an air stone running. You also need to think about your Bactria. With fresh oxygenated water it may start to die off.

First off the two clownfish wont live a happy life in a 10 gallon and prolly won't survive long anyway. You should look into getting them a slightly bigger tank.

So...how did they do last night? You can't leave us hanging!

 

[aquarium fish lover]

I returned one of the clownfish to the fish shop yesterday and I on the filter all day

 

[Ausfish]

You did the right thing by your fish. Hope the other ones doing ok by himself
Good luck.
