Will my fish make it?

[aznt1217]

Hello All,

I have an office tank... the Edge Nano 6 gallon with 2 really small clownfish in it. Well, my office closed because we had a power outage.

The interior temperature probably stays the same so I am not too worried about temperature flux. I am concerned about the power filter going out. Assuming that this power went out on Saturday (not all of it... we have back up generators). Do you think the fish can make it till tomorrow?!

:supermad:

I doubt they can make it that long without oxygen. I had a power outage this weekend for 7 hours..I ran to Petland and got one of the battery powered air pumps...my fish/ corals were fine after 7 hours with nothing but this...I'd get one ASAP...and run over there with it.

I would if I could even get in...

I mean sometimes these fish make it in bags for 3 days... auy this sucks. I just brought them back to the office this week too.

lets break in and rescue those suckas!! the Cove STYLE!! SEARCH AND RESCUE MOVE OUT.

I am absolutely devastated. I got an email from facilities in the office and power hasn't been restored yet. Crap. I hope these clowns can act like betta fish...

Clowns are pretty resilient... don't lose hope.

I was out of power for 2 days last year..did nothing bc I couldn't...everything made it....don't give up!

Don't give up aznt!! Anyway they'll let you in to retrieve the fish?

 

[aznt1217]

yea Ed it's your old tank. I can't get into the building apparently. Facilities locked it.

 

[aznt1217]

OMG. THEY MADE IT !!!

 

[motortrendz]

awsome!!!!:biggrinpa:thrash::beer::groupflip

That's the BEST news I've heard in days...haven't been able to stop thinking about these little guys! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[aznt1217]

I actually think I know why they made it. So I don't really top off this tank often.

So the top of the tank actually has this giant air bubble at the top due to evaporation. -- It's just a theory but that's the only way I can see them making it.
