My power is out. I think it went out around 7pm, and I got home around 9:30 PM. I immediately put my battery powered air pumps in my 75 g, and one in my 29 gallon. I can not get the power back on apparantly before the morning becuase no one will answer at the power company.!
I am typing this all from my cell phone internet.
Are my fish going to die????
All ihave in my 75g tank is 1 majestic foxface, and 2 small clown fish. I do have some live rock, but no coral, and no inverts. I will have the battery owered air running until the batteries run out.
In my 29g tank, I only have one medium sized dog face puffer by himself, no coral or inverts either.
I also have only 1 damsel in another 20g tank alone, and 1 betta in a fresh 1g tank.
I don't not have any more air pumps for my damsel or betta. I used the 2 battery air umps on my 75g, and the puffer's tank.
The good news is I live in florida, and its in the 70's and 80's here. So temp should be ok.
What else can I do to keep them alive until morning?
I do not have any experience with a power outage but seems like your fish should be OK if the power comes back tomorrow. You have a small population of fish versus water volume. When fish are shipped that are in small (less then 1 gallon bags) instead of huge volumes of water. Good luck.
Believe it or not, so far everyone is still alive in my tanks. My foxface is dark and stripped, so she's not hapy, but she's swimming around. My dog face puffer in my 29g tank looks really wide eyed, and still, but fins are moving, so I know he's alive.
Should I be stirring the water or anything?
The power should be coming on soon. Is there any other directions I need to follow when the power gets turned back on?
Plz help!! Is anyone online??
