Wow this guy lost all his fish cuz of PG&E

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ouch...
 
What a tragic incident... if the temp went up too high, i would have probably did some water changes with cooler water to stablize it. And if there was no supply of air/oxygen i would have gotten a small bucket of water to scoop up some water and pour it slowly back in the tank to circulate the water and cause water movement.
 
Yeah, seems like there's plenty he could've done to prevent his fish from dying. If he had a grand in fish you would think he'd know more about how to keep them from dying. He must not be an MFK'er. I bet now he wishes he were!
 
i would f:swear: ing flip out!!!! I dont quite have that much invest in just fish (yet:headbang2 ) but to loose the guys i have been raising since babies would piss me off. How did the fish die? Temp drop? Low oxygen?


It was 110 degrees outside, how could the temp drop?:clap
 
Yeah, there were several things he could have done to save his fish, if he really cared at all about his fish, he would have added some ice cubes, or did water changes with cooler water to say the least.:confused:
 
Even with putting in ice to cool it and pouring water to add oxegen, he probably works (would hope he has a job if he has a grand in fish) so will be gone at least 9 hours a day. that could be long enough to kill some fish. I wouldn't be able to miss two days of work because the power was out and i needed to keep my fish alive.

Granted a battery powered air pump (i have one to keep bait alive, but would work for my tank) could have helped, but I don't think its fair to say this guy did nothing or that he didn't care about his fish without knowing any of the details.
 
yes that is bad.

last week i was without power for 5 DAYS in 100*+ weather. my house was 94 degrees in the day time and like 88-90 at night. i lost 2 fish out of about 100 and neither of the two were any of my discus. guess it just takes alittle luck but i have battery air pumps which i think saved me.
