Aquarium Advice Addict
I just got back last night from a week away. There was a heat wave of 44 deg C (over 100 F) that lasted 4 days. When I arrived home the tank water felt luke warm and there were decomposing fish everywhere. The water temperature was around 35 dec C (93 F) and had probably been like that for 2 - 3 days. The only fish that survived were 3 angel fish. I am suprised because the water was foul as well as far too hot.
I initially took out 25% then started adding water at the same time as removing water. I took out all the dead fish I could find and did a gravel vac too. I got the water temp down to 30 deg C last night and now is down to 28.
The angels look ok now, but I must have lost 35 fish.
