What An Idiot!

Just changed my water and didn't get water to correct temp like a dork!! Totally forgot and the temp has dropped to 21 celsius from 24. My L-260 looks as though it has suffered, it may have been in the flow of the incoming cold water. The heater is warming the water fairly quickly I think back to normal. Anything else I can do for my Queen Arabesque apart from watch it closely this evening??

Opps. Not done this before myself so dont knowwhat to suggest. I have read before though that raising the temp back up just as fast is also bad for them as the sudden change again can shock them.

Keep a close eye on your fish, sorry I havent any ideas but I bet some one will have good advice.

All you can do is keep an eye on them for swim bladder, whitespot, and columnaris.
Good luck.

 

[ghent_3rd]

Would you advise on treating for whitespot as a precaution wilder??

also, is there a fair chance it might not have effected anything??

I wouldn't worry too much mate. Mine sometimes drops 2-3 degrees if I don't get the temperature right. Just keep an eye on them over the next few hours. If anything it will probably boot your Corydoras into breeding!

 

[WILDER]

No I wouldn't treat for whitespot, just keep a look out for it.
Good luck.
