Yesterday, after adding a beautiful pearl gouramis and four fancy guppies to our freshwater tank our air conditioning stopped blowing cold air. I
stopped looking at the thermostat in the house at 94 degrees. The tank temperatures were slowing climbing at one point after all our efforts the salt water tank read 86. I didn't know what to do so I figured ice might help instead of cold water, so I floated ice cubes in a plastic bag. after hours of floating ice and running out of ice the temps were finally down to a workable 83. The two clowns looked like they were floundering about and the chromis went into hiding.
The freshwater fish seem ok today. The gourami is swimming casually like he was not effected by the water temps and our tetras and fancy guppies appear to be ok.
So far anyway, we haven't lost any. Thanks to God.
