  8. you could add this to the mix
  9. just let it cool naturally or do small changes then do water changes once at right temp once fish have gone through an extreme of water parameters adjustments need to be slow to avoid adding further stress you will always lose some as alan said, natural selection takes over
  10. the high heat may also have contributed to a lack of oxygen in the tank which in turn may have caused some die off in gill membrane there are many variables that will have come into play but shock to the fishes system will be the biggest you will just have to wait it out one consolation could be what is left may be hardy
