Extreme hot weather makes fishes die?
Hi Bros, did anyone of u guys experience more fishes dying during hot weather? at least 8 of my small fishes inside my comm tank died these 2 days and i guess it could be due to the hot weather. water temperature these 2 days is ard 31°C to 32°C.

these days the weather even we ppl aso buay tahan, not to mention fishes. Bro, switch off lights or add a cooling fan may help to reduce water temp. Just my 2 cents worth of opinion.

that's my guess.. cos the tank been running for close to 4 months already and no losses during this period.. weekly w/c and w/c is limited to not more 20% per week.. no major changes to water parameters.

D u check ur water parameters (PH, NH3, NO2, NO3, O2)? IMO, ur tank DO level seem very low.

I dun think so hot weather will cause the fishes to die.
If that is really the case, those fish farm owners will be 100 times more worried than us. I believe is the water parameter, did u overstock your fishes? |

nope didnt overstock.. the same amount of fishes since i started the tank ard 4 mths ago. but really puzzled why esp these 2 days did so many fishes die.. cos i nv do any changes to the tank and the water parameters within acceptable lvl.
