More Fish Deaths

[Arashi]

Well, I thought I was done losing fish after Torque and the six harlequins...but I was wrong. I knew the temperature was going to be seriously hot outside, so before I left for work yesterday morning, I put our big fan in the fish room to blow cold air on the tanks, I left the window open with the blinds shut to get some air flow in the room, and I unplugged the heaters (just in case).

Everything I did was for naught.

When I came home and checked the tanks...each had a temp of 90+! It was so hot and humid outside (over 90 degrees), that it just didn't matter what I had done to prevent the overheating of the tanks. I lost three fish...my yellow swordtail, one zebra danio, and Kraut, my little crab.

I know I did eveything I could, but I just feel horrible.

my little friends.

Ouch, no AC, I guess? That really sucks, your poor fish!



Poor fish!

We have AC, but it's only in the living room... The fish tanks are in the extra bedroom so little to no air gets in there.

I'm sorry about your fish

Sorry about your fish.

I feel your pain, my fellow mid-westerner. It's so humid out. It's like a sauna. Are you near Lake Michigan?

WoW........I'm sorry about that!!

Sheeesh......do you think you could buy a really small one for that room??

Sorry again!

Thanks guys.

cometcattle - Yeah, we are about 45 minutes north of Milwaukee, WI, so we are pretty close to the lake. It's been raining like crazy for the past few days, but no let up in the humidity.

silver - We are going to get a little air conditioner for this room...one of those window ones. I don't want this happening again.
