Well, I decided to do a water change on my 75g fry tank today. Not 15 minutes after adding the water all the fish were at the bottom. :? 15 minutes more and I had 3 dead. 8O The deaths have continued but are slowing. I've lost about fifteen 2"-3" Icebergs so far. :( There's alot of great benefits to having well water....the 'cold' temperature isn't one of them. I can't believe I forgot to warm the water!

Re: Oops....
Don't feel too bad, it hapens to all of us.
About 10 years ago I set up a tank in my wife's classroom after xmas break.
(the school system turns off HVAC, Water Heater, lights.... everything during a break)'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'Comment

Re: Oops....
How big was the temp drop?
In the winter time I do smaller water changes and add the water back in slower.I ate my fish that died.

Re: Oops....
10+ drop....maybe more. Lets just say I didn't need a thermometer to tell me the water was too cold. 8O ....But, lessons learned. Tank is stable now.Originally posted by myjohnson";p="A mouth will say anything....:ym_chatterbox:....Take a picture!!!!Comment
