My power went out 13 hours ago. My betta tank (5 gallons) is pretty small. my other fish are surprisingly looking good. but my betta, Brad, is leaning against the wall. the power came on 13 minutes ago, and i added my backup super duper heater to the tank. hes not doing to good. hes alive, because i occasionally tap the glass. but the temp was 43 degrees! im hoping hes just groggy. Help!
 
Don't super duper heat the water back up, that will shock, stress, and/or possibly kill him. Let it warm up naturally. How did it get so cold so fast?
 
oh i know. this heater slowly regenerates the water. it got cold cuz itnwas snowing outside and my genius brother left a windowmopen when it was snowing outside.
