Hot Water

[PaulineMi]

Just stuck a FDBW cube on the glass in the adult Dantum tank.  The water felt way too warm. When I checked it the temp was 94.5.  I'm sure glad this didn't happen when I was in Florida for a week. I lost a tank full of Crystal Red Shrimp when a faulty thermometer shot up to 99 degrees a few years back.

Guess it's time to buy a few back up thermometers....again.

I hope it was the Discus tank.  I stuck my hand into a tank with Discus fry once and it felt hot.  The temp was 95.  I unplugged the heater and did a very small WC.  Everyone lived.

Glad you caught them in time. I once lost a 75g full of Mbuna due to a stuck heater. Funny thing is that I had a small school of Devario aequipinnatus  in that tank with them (the danios were there first) and they all lived  .  I think a couple of them had a little brain damage.

Good thing you caught it. I lost a tank full of Bn fry once. Sad thing is the heater was only a few weeks old. And it was a expensive digital heater. I was able to return the heater, not much consolation when you lose a tank full of fry.
