Fish are coming and my heater isn't here yet.

[Ajno]

Crap I forgot all about it. My heate won't be here til Friday. Would tetras and loaches be ok in unheated tank?

Need to post temps of your house, some people keep their house cold some warm.

 

[Ajno]

mine is 73 during the day and 68-70 at night. I just did a water change with warmer water hoping the tank will hold some of the warmth. I have an acrylic tank.

Nooe, you'll need to do something else before they get here. If they are clown loaches you really need to get the temp up.

Keep your house 80F for a few days you should be fine then water conserves heat for awhile so at night you should be fine just make sure when you do wc there warm so you don't lose heat

This. If Clown Loaches, they are already proned to getting ich, having unstable temp, lower temps, will definitely not help this matter.

but it could be a weather loach also he didnt say as weather loaches can go in cw

Or just run down to your local chain pet store and snag two cheap heaters that can last you a few days.

OR!

If you have your PC in the same room as your tank start folding
