Dam JL, another one checked out? How is the Suchus? My guy is cool... Breathing seems normal, also feeding was the same. I ask cause these guys are suppos 74* Cats :D

I took my heaters out almost 7 months ago n today the tank temp went up to 86*. still had about 6* more till I hit my max Lol
Suchus doing fine... It's not just the heat... I've been working straight the past two weeks without day off, so I missed water change on one of my small tank for 2 days. Can't miss the big ones.. Too many precious in those big tanks

where my cichla are
silly cichla keep knocking the thermometer down.. but none of my tanks is over 85 degrees. but they are in the center of the house where it is coolest. it never got over 90 inside today, but it was 110 outside.

one of the dogs ate the low voltage wires to the A/C about 10 years ago and i never bothered to get it fixed... i didn't mind $60 electricity bills in the summer when everyone else was screaming about their $200 - $400 bills from their A/C. now i have the opposite problem, in the winter my electricity bills go up because of the tank heaters.. lol.

lol, i wanna see my fish.. i put insulation around the 3 sides i don't need to see through and this year i'm putting plexiglass over the top of the ones that don't have glass tops. and i may find a couple thick moving pads to cover the tops too..
