Loopy Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Ok now that just makes the day worse! :evil: I had just typed a big post to explain what happened and pushed the wrong button and lost the lot :evil: :evil: The heater in our puffer tank had popped it's lid! the whole black top has popped off. The glass is still intact! When it blew it must have tripped the overload thing-a-ma-bob on the multiboard and turned off the heaters and lights to the other tanks on that system Which just happen to be all the fry tanks. everyone looks fine except for the puffers, one of which is sitting upside down and not moving. The heater that i recieved at conference got ripped out of its box rather viciously. thanks guys!! who would have thought i would need it so soon! Thankfully the board had popped it's switch so everything was turned off and noone got cooked!! No i am just waiting for my puffys to warm up and hope they get over their chilly experience!

Loopy Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 puffs still look rather sad. at least the one who was upside down is round the right way now! temp is at 26*C now. I think i just have to wait for them to stop sulking :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 jeez the puffs are still sulking! At this rate it is going to be a week at least before they get over their ordeal! I don't think they are going to die now but they are pretty miserable. They are not moving and surprisingly not interested in food. they are just sitting there looking sad. I don't like situations like that I felt so helpless and guilty! It is so hard seeing your finned babies so unhappy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 have you tried darkening the tank? Give them a day or so of that, see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
