I just got home from a business trip to find that my furnace had failed and somehow the power supply to my 55 gal. tank had been shut off (I suspect the cats playing behind the tank).
I lost the entire tank with the exception of one yoyo loach that somehow managed to thaw out.
It was just horrible - one was a Frontosa I'd raised from a tiny fry to a beautiful large fish, and a zebra loach I've had for a dozen years.
I have a 35 gallon tank upstairs that I never bothered putting a heater in, it contains 3 blood parrots. They were upside down and hard as rocks. I removed them, and noticed that two of them had quivering fins. I quickly did a water change and swished them back and forth to get oxygen flowing through their gills. Today they seem to be completely recovered and are eating well.
