Hi all,
Tonight a catastrophic event happen in my tank. I have had the same three fish (large silver dollar, at least 6 inches) for over 16 years. We have been through a lot and I have had them since college, when my mom took care of them. I have nursed them back to health and such. So tonight, my Rena water heater malfunctioned and electrocuted the fish. I heard a bubbling sound and smelled fire. I actually thought my house was on fire.... the water was grey and there was singeing around the top of the water with a terrible smell. I tired to get the fish into a secondary tank but they lasted less than a half hour. Their gills were fire red and their tails singed... I am absolutely devaststed... 16 years
