Sorry to hear that.  Was it a temperature or an oxygen issue do you think?

No one to barrow a generator from?

Heck, you can rent one at a tool rental store.


Extension cord from a neighbor?

All tanks are looking rough.  This could be hobby ending all large fish most likely dead tropheus look to be dieing.  Fryseem fine probably entire 90 ggone.  Not getting better even with huge water changes during.  Total fish room crash.

If lack of O2, it's perhaps resulting from no water disturbance and a protein film building up across the surface of the tank. Just try swishing the surface of the water around every 20-30 minutes.

If you're doing water changes and trying to compensate with warm water, keep in mind that dissolved O2 decreases the water the warmer the water is.
