WOW just WOW...last night the temp. in my tank was 78 degrees. Woke up today and see my rainbows sitting up top not moving too much. My other fish which are two loaches and a red tail shark seem to be normal, swimming around as usual. I was puzzled for a second there...looked at my thermometer and my eyes popped put of my sockets...freakin' 94 degrees...I stuck my finger tips in the water just to make sure and sure enough the water was very warm.
My question is...do I just unplug my heater and let the temp. drop on it's own to about 78? or do I need to do PWC with cooler water? I'm concerned about my rainbows they are sitting up top and breathing very rapidly. They still seem to have their color though. Strangely my loaches and the shark seem to love it this warm
