So today I did my usual water change on all 7 of my tanks and when I went to put my siphon house away I noticed my heater had become unplugged from what I thought was when I took everything out. Know I think it happened last week, I didn't check the temp of the tank after the water change because my freshwater it's cool and always lowers the temp(and I thought it just came unplugged). Anyway I just got home from work and all my Tropheus that I've raised from .5" to 3.5" for the past 2 years are all messed up, what should I do? The temp is what would normally be there normal temp 78f. Know I think they were adjusted to having no heater for the past week or so. I really don't want to lose them as I've tried very hard with this colony and there my favorite group I have. Please help, thanks oh and they were just fine up until tonight.

Last year I lost power for 16 hrs and the temp went down to low 60s. I remember my tropheus was acting the same way, swimming weird and acting almost drunk. It took about 2 days and he was fine. The only fish I lost were a couple if brichardi.
