RE: here in Memphis...

["Stepanova, Lilia" <Lilia.Stepanova@stjude.org>]

For darters to increase oxygenation, I opened the top of the
tank and took out some water (to about 1/3 of the regular level) -
this was supposed to increase surface/volume ratio for better 
oxygen uptake... But this was only for darters, out of 17 
I have 7 left. And they are from the pretty cold stream in Arkansas 
(at least it would never get there to 110*F for sure :o).
Cories are in the tank far from the window,
and they are not display fish, so I did not see them at all 
until electricity came back, but in their 100g tank none of the 
fish floated belly up.

Glad your losses wer elimited, it surprises me that
the cories made it, at my house they have shown poor
tolerance for heat. More surprising perhaps to me was
the darters surviving. The rainbows I have seen kept
in an aquarium were highly intolerant of warm water.
You must have really well oxygenated tanks. The
apistos I would expect to take the heat well, it gets
real hot in the places that some of them come from, of
course the darters are from here where it is so hot,
so what do I know ;-)
