Long Post sorry.
Oh no! I have just been informed that maybe our electricity is going to completely be cut off on the 7 June for at least a week, could be up to 3 or 4 weeks. It may not actually happen but the chances are not looking that good. Im gonna have to use lotsa candles, study and do assigenments for exam block by hand, have cold showers and wash my hair in the sink, etc. however we will have a small gas stove for cooking, but the gas will not be allowed to be wasted so i cannot use it on fish tank.
The main thing i am concerned about is the heating, more than the filtration and the plant. Without filtration I could still do water changes regularly, and i would grudgingly let go of that one sword. Right now it only gets really cold at nighttime and early morning. otherwise it is reasonably a good temp in the 20degrees range.
Even though this unfortunate event may not actually happen, I thought i would better get lotsa advice beforehand just in case it did happen, as i would not be able to consult Aa on my computer.
I have two dwarf gouramis and a juvenile BN pleco.
What can I do to keep my fish alive in terms of heating? I know i could put a few candles around the tanks and wrap it up in blankets. I was thinking about taking my fish to the lfs and ask if they could look after them temporarily but i don't know if i can trust them...
Any advice on this and extra tips on keeping water quality etc?
