Damn made such a stupid mistake this morning.

Cleaning the arow tank and siphoning out water. Gran called me to put on a Dvd, so went round hers and forgot about the tank.

Came back and found it 3/4 empty. Started filling it back up and started on, one of the other tanks.
The arow tank was almost full when i noticed that everything was on the floor and not moving much.
Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
put my hand in the water and it was Coooooooooooooolld. Too much water taken out and no heat left in it.
So siphoned some more water out and added a couple of buckets of hot water to even out the temperature.

Took me over 1/2 hour to revive the Peacock Eel. It was lifeless and looked dead. but i kept it moving back and forth in the endler tank and it slowly came round.

The arow is still a little sluggish, but is back to the surface.

Not gonna make that mistake again.
 
Thank God everything made it...
 
WOW! good thing you saved them, that would have been a costly mistake.
 
look for an ick outbreak
 
Gonna check with Gran before you start next time huh?!

Glad to hear it all worked out. Good save.
