Tragedy!

[victor1]

HI GUYS My tank details is in my signiture.

8:00am while sleeping a car hit our house. knockced off the gas pipe of the house. so the gas was leaking. we left and ran outside and waited for the fire fighters. lets make it short. we live in vegas and right now its like 110'F and we dont have electricity nor gas. so we are staying at the hotel and have to leave the tank. i decided to buy another tank to rescue them. its a 20G and i used the same water and stuff.

1. would they be okay? i kinda have to leave them for 5 hours w/o no bubbles.
2. would that temp tank be enough for 2 weeks?
3. i left some naussorious snails in the original tank, would he be okay?

what do u guys suggest for me to do? if i return the fishes i would loose 1/3 of my money.

They'd be ok short term, but without water movement in the 20g I'd be very concerned. Check out Vegas Reefers and see if there are any kind souls near you that would be willing to house some of the fish or help you out in this dire emergency. If unable to contact anyone here, get flow in that 20g immediately somehow, and try to get things back in order with your main tank ASAP. Good luck

yah, i think the puffer might me dying soon. his eyes are blurred and hes just staying at the bottom of my hospital tank. the yellow tang has one of its eye blurred also but still swims around. the clowns are doing fine.

Man clowns are tough... If you can make a proper diagnosis of the cause of death you might be able to save the tang. Hope things work out for you.

Okay, the porcupine puffer was dead. by the time i got to take him out, his skin was already decaying. It FREAKING STINKS!!!!!!!!!! OMG and skin was peeling off! yuk.
