Question
hi i,ve just broke the heater on my tank and was wondering how long they can survive without an heater obviously i will not be able to get one till tomorrow morning will they survive the night


Answer
Hi Jane, they can definately survive the night without heat. The heater is important however and the sooner you can get it the better. Just be sure you don't see any symptoms of respiratory infection setting in. (Mouth gaping, bubbles from mouth, wheezing, excessive coughing or sneezing, floating or lopsided swimming)


Good luck,
