Whilst myself and my girlfreind were at work our aquarium heater failed in the on postion the result was a 36G tank full of boiled fish and shrimps some of which ive had for several years (i felt like crying to be honest all the effort and love put into it and worse of all having to explain it to my 7 year old daughter that Percy her 4 year old pleco had died ) poor little things where boiled so bad there skin was mush the water was off the scale on the thermometer and too hot to place hands in.I ran to the kitchen grabed a pan and started to bail the hot water out then added cold to lower the tempreture much to my amazement 2 small mollies survived and were hiding in a cave.These are doing well in a newly stocked tanked is this normal for heaters to fail in the on position and is it woth chasing the comapny up and complaining to them ?.
