heater failure on my nimbochromis quarantine tank what can I do? So far I put him in a bag with his tank water in a bucket of slightly warmer water and replaced the heater in his tank and monitor the temp. The other much smaller cichlid is already showing much improvement as you would expect as he is much smaller but the nimbo is full grown and stressed from an injury swimming erratically mostly gasping from his side with a few upright and wobbly laps around the bucket only to end up on his side and I'm gradually raising the temp. We're about 30-35 minutes in @ 00:22 central standard
 
Keep the water warm and well aerated. A drop or two of meth blue should help.
