Hi Dave, I have 55, 40, 30, 20, 15. 55 has three varieties of agassizi including a wild form, borelii, macmasteri, veijita , several rams, and several varieties of philippine blue anglefish. 40 has a pair of brilliant turquoise discus (have never mated for me, but get along great!) and a couple of cichlids: one macmasteri and electric blue acara. 30 has cardinal tetras, pair of blue angels, electric blue rams. 20 has killies. 15 is where I keep apisto females, or quarantine, or hospital; always something happening in that tank.
Recently lost an orange flash cacatuoides who my wife and I named Edward G. Robinson because of his face! When we had the power failure here last months snow storm, tanks went down to 60 degrees (our generator failed also). Eddie G developed an infection several days later, then died. We managed to keep the discus tank from going below 70, because it's in a different room, with a fireplace. That was the only way we could heat the tank. Any longer, I would have lost all my fish, but my neighbor ran a cable from his generator before it was too late. There were fish actually laying on their side in the bottom of the tanks, disoriented. But they recovered. We lost some other fish though: black angels, tetras, and some rams. Killies did fine.
What do you have? Were you affected by the outage?
