Got home earlier on from a day in York to find we'd had a five hour power cut! The rainbows, barbs and danios were heavily gasping at the surface. Henry (A large male geophagus) was gasping, but not at the surface and the sinibotia were the same. Only the fluval 304 turned back on, the powerhead for the box didn't turn back on. One of the Y. nigrolineata got into the filter box so in a way it's a good thing it didn't turn back on.
But i lost one of my prized sinibotia!
I've got to say he was a little thin for my liking and was going to de-worm and then treat for parasites in that one.
After a few hours are maximum surface movement all the fish look ok - and Henry's playing with the mass of floating plants. Rolling Eyes
Though the sinibotia are breathing quite heavily.
And the fish in the 30" look like nothings ever happened.
On another note the rest of my stuff came today so i will be getting on with the tank soon!

We had a problem with the house electrics today and the supply must have tripped out about 20 times this afternoon. I am just glad I was home at the time otherwise who knows what I'd have come back to. I was getting really worried about the tanks, but in the end, by process of elimination it seems to have been caused by the washing machine, so have turned that off for the time being and since then the electric has not tripped out again. I wish there was some sort of alarm system that could send a message/call a mobile phone if the power supply to the tanks is interrupted.
