Regular Member Kissy Posted July 16, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 16, 2005 Freeze a few large waterbottles and put them in one at a time. My tank is 85ish in the summer, sometimes higher. I tried the waterbottle trick but One liter of ice melted in like five minutes so I knew it wasn't going to work. Is the water temp permanant?

Guest zena Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Kissy,My orlando is just barely able to swim I see your online, should I tske him out of the 10 gallon aquarium and put him in a hospital tank, He is going downhill fast, and I don't know what else to do. Thanks for the freezing of water bottles,but he looks sick to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fishyfan7 Posted July 18, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 18, 2005 You can't just dump him in water that is way cooler...it will shock his body and kill him...you need to bring the water down gradually. I would agree with Kissy....put some frozen water bottles in the tank. If you don't have water bottles handy, you can use baggies of ice but make sure to dechlorinate the water you use to make the ice cubes in case that water leaks into the tank.

Regular Member Kissy Posted July 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 21, 2005 Sorry I didn't reply faster!! My email is broken so I don't get notice when someone posts. You need to cool the water down slowly, or else you will shock him like said above. How's he doing???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member froggydella Posted July 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 21, 2005 Kissy's got the right idea!! The water bottles work wonders. Just curious to know if you have a heater in the tank? I know some people have them even with goldies. How is he doing now?......Post back soon please......
