My brand new german blue rams have already spawned just last night, and I was so happy to find that the eggs made it through the night.... Then I looked at my thermometer. I think the heater broke yesterday and the tank temp went down to 70 F. Will the eggs survive? I could only pull heaters out of other tanks for the moment; and unused 50 watt unsubmersible and a 25 watt from my betta tank (he'll be okay, he's tough >>). I needed to go to the petstore for something else today, anyway, but I'll have to wait til afterschool :/
 
They will be fine if it only dropped to 70. It may have lengthened the time for them to hatch however. Watch for fungus on the eggs just in case a few have spoiled so that it dosen't spread to the rest of the eggs.
