cold fish

[Frauley/Elson <fraulels@minet.ca>]

Hi all,
I just survived the great ice storm of 1998 (7 sub-zero days with no
power or heat). DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!, but I have learned that
Apistogrammoides pucallpaensis, Apisto cacatuoides, mcmasteri and
veijita can survive 30 hours at 10C, but N taenia and D maculatus get
into trouble at 12C. How's that for useless info? I got most of my fish
to shelter on the 3rd day. You can do a lot with blankets and floating
coke bottles full of hot water, when you can find hot water. 
There, I have vented. Thank you.
