Loss of aro and tankmates

glyeo84 · 24-08-2010, 10:46 PM

Hi All,

This afternoon ard 1.30pm rec'd news from home that there was a main power failure in my blk which affected many units. Rushed and reached home at 3pm to find all my fishes still alive, but struggling for survival although my OC did a 30% water change as instructed.
Quickly searched and fixed up a battery operated air pump and thrown in the tube with air stone. Upon seeing all the fishes, especially the rtg aro swimming freely, tot everything will be ok in a short while.
About 10 mins later and to my astonishment, found the aro floating at the surface and many of the smaller fishes have turned upside down in the tank bottom. By then, it was too late to save the aro as the battery from the pump was depleted....
Lesson learnt, never assume things will be ok and nothing will happen....haiz...

Casualties - 15" rtg, 6-7" pb x4, 10" tsn and 8-9" yellowish with red eyes catfish (auction pc).
Survivals - 13-15" pb x6, 13-14" jaguar cichlid x2, 6" patin x2 n 7" tfb.

Regretted to hear this Sir, is a great pity, hope you get over this soon.

Why don"t you get a ACDC airpump incase similar case happen again, I see that you are keeping alot of big fishes thus perhaps you may want to get 1 unit of ACDC airpump to standby. Just my opinons.

First such encounter, so feeling a bit uneasy with the losses.....

Though it is an isolated case, but things do happen and will definately get an ACDC airpump on standby to prevent recurrence of losing livestocks. Thks bro..
