My fishes are dead...

[BlueGirl]

haaay..gusto ko lang ilabas lungkot ko dahil namatay nga lahat ng isda ko dahil nawalan ng kuryente simula thursday hanggang sunday ng hapon..haaay...ngayon wala ng laman ang aquarium ko...

sa mga may pet fish..pano nga ba imaintain ang aquarium kapag nawalan ng kuryente?lalo na kung ganun katagal?thanks...

[dj_ryankilmore]

palit lang ng tubig ng madalas...salt water ba or fresh?

[chuaed]

you could have crack open the air-pump and re-direct the wiring from the motor to the batter...

unfortunately its too late for the fishes...

[quameth]

use aerator and palit ng 2big para malinis tubig kc walang filter pag walang kuryente. bdw whats urs? mine is flowerhorn and naabutan pa ng walang kuryente ung isang fh na meron swim bladder pero buhay pa sila hehe

Sad to hear about what happened sa mga fishes mo ma'm BG.

Kung fresh water, ginagawa namin, though matrabaho talaga, nililipat namin sa small aquarium wherein mas madali i-drain water at mapalitan agad ng fresh ones. No choice po eh, ganun talaga.

Unless kabitan mo ng UPS o genset ung setup mo ....joke lang po!

[OTEP]

May kuryente naman ata kina carlocaraddict, sana dinala mo na lang dun. Uyyyy.... joke lang po BG.

battery operated air pump....

buti bumili na rin ako friday morning, muntikan pa ko mawalan buti naunahan ko yung isang buyer.

natakot din ako kasi namatay yung flower horn nung kapitbahay namin, ang laki pa naman...buti malinis lagi tubig nung aquarium ko.

me nabili akong battery operated air pump dati. never really tested it thoroughly though, but it sure works.

ang alam kong isa pang technique is to put all your fish into a plastic bag, bombahan ng oxygen, then seal it. not sure why it works, but i saw the shop owners at cartimar doing this nung nagbrownout dati ng matagal.

:hihihi:

sayang yung fishes mo ah...anong klase ba?

[baiskee]

or live underwater plants will do, they produce oxygen for the fishes as well. ;)

from the other forum:
Use battery-operated pumps.
"Anyways, I think battery pumps last for 6 hrs or longer. Never use old batteries kasi baka kaunti na lang natitira at mapabayaan mo sa gabi.

Pag biglaan and you're not home, use UPS. That should last for a few hours for as long as pump lang ang paggagamitan. Pag matagalan, battery pump lang talaga o di kaya generator kung mayroon. You can also use drip system. Don't overstock your tank. A single fh in a 75 gallon can survive for a few days. Last tip, don't feed the fish pag brownout."

Drip system - use a cup or tabo then scoop out water and place in your filter or let it drip back in every few hours - to aerate the water

Water change - change a certain percent of the water every few hours. Instructions ko sa helper namin is to change 20% 2x a day.

although usually kasi, there aren't enough plants to supply oxygen for the fish population. i also read somewhere...di ko na maalala ung details, but there are situations wherein plants will actually consume diffused oxygen in the tank.

although kung me dutch aquarium ka, solb! basically a sealed tank with lighting, a *lot* of vegetation, and very few fish. cool imho

I feel your pain! a week before MILENYO, about 25 neons, glow lights, head & tails and male guppys died one by one in my tank. I have yet to pinpoint the cause. walang white spots, walang finrot. tapos all of a sudden, the mysterious deaths stopped. :rip: i've got 2 hatchets left, a couple of guppys, neon tetras ang 4 ghost shrimps

[alwayz_yummy]

noong may carpa pa kami, pag walang kuryente, may back-up kaming battery-operated pump..kaso magatos sa battery...size D pa naman...

[j_avonni]

For emergency purposes, use a long stick then swirl the water so the oxygen would flow into the water. Then, follow what the others suggest - like installing a battery operated pump

[BoEinG_747]

wala ba airpump na 12vdc..para pwede connect sa battery ng cars

[wildthing]

pedeng iconvert or magmodify ka...yung mga 3v motors lagyan mo ng paddle wheels...sa mga sugpuan (shrimp farms) ang ginagamit na aerator ng pond ay paddle wheels.
