Aquarium Advice Regular
I lost power early Monday morning due to the big storms that rolled through Chicagoland. I'm now told that I won't get power back until Friday afternoon.
I've got a 20 gallon high tank with a gold gourami, a tiger barb, 5 red tailed tetras, and 3 cory catfish.
On Monday, the house stayed relatively cool and the aquarium temp stayed about 76 degrees. The house got up to about 79 degrees, and the aquarium temp was steady. After it got hot yesterday, I opened up the house overnight to take advantage of lower overnight temps. This morning, the aquarium had dropped to 71 degrees. For whatever reason, the aquarium is now cooler than the house temperature.
Any guesses as whether or not my fish will survive until Friday with no heat and no filter?
