I have this one... blue inkbird but the probe is different. https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-Aquarium-Temperature-Controller-ITC-306T/dp/B07KC24CKD/
It’s been 4 hours since I took him out. Tank water was 75. I know it was low. I don’t understand how it could’ve gone down so much. I put the tank at 75. I keep adding cold water. It’s very stressful. What do I do? How is he still alive?
I bet your floor temp is around 69-70f.
It will be fine at that temperature temporarily. I forgot to turn my heaters back on and found them the next day in the afternoon at 68f still begging for food. Do a warm water change to bring it up a couple of degrees. Then you can heat up the water some more 3-4 hours later
Upper jaws and lapredei do fine even in 73f long term 4months out of the year

I wouldn’t worry too much. Bichirs are tough. He will be sluggish, but will survive. He has to be exposed to low temperatures for a good amount of time before it gets bad. A few hours won’t kill him.
You could probably get away with doing that faster. If I need to make a temp change, I will just turn the heater right to that, probably not recommended but I’ve never had any fish show temp change problems. Same with if I accidentally fill a tank too hot or cold on w/c day.
