Aquarium Advice FINatic
havent been around much lately because my fish were doing really well....
until a week or so ago and my heater malfunctioned and turned my tank (5 gal) into something you might cook spaghetti in. It was almost too hot to put my hand in.....
I immediately removed the heater, emptied half the water and put cooler water in to help the short term.
Amazingly enough, my beta, some older apple snails and one glassfish stayed alive.
But I lost my albino bristlnose, clown pleco, 2 of my glassfish tetras, all of my neons and all of my baby apple snails
I recently bought some 'cheaper' tankmates for my remaining fish and the glassfish has begun schooling with the black neons. I was fairly sad for awhile as I really liked my 2 baby plecos (not to mention the cost)
So hopefully everything remains in working order from here on out.
