I NEVER go on vacation. Decided I had to visit the family in California (parents aren't getting any younger) and was literally in the air only a few hours when the power went out in my house. Two of my lovely neighbors immediately sprang into action knowing how neurotic I am about my fish. They came in and starting hunting for my big back-up batteries to plug the filters into. The house sitter knew where they were, but she hadn't arrived at the house yet. Apparently power was off for two hours and came back on just as they figured it out. Of course, the little AC on the 10-gallon with my favorite BN pleco did not restart. I couldn't explain to the non-fish neighbor how to deal with that, so I had to walk her through catching the fish and dumping it into one of the tanks. Fortunately, he was a hardy beast and survived the transfer. Whew. But why does this happen as soon as you leave??
Of course, the BBA is now out of control again in my planted tank as it went without a water change (and probably other assorted issues) for almost two weeks. I'll deal with it this weekend I guess.
the good news is all fish survived. My housesitter actually did a cichlid head count every day!!!
