The #blackout finally ended. 44 hours. Tonight would have been rough compared to yesterday since it's going to be -12°C and I wouldn't be able to pull another all-nighter keeping the fire alive.

The #aquarium tanks have somehow kept warmer than the #fishscrub itself and the last measure (just now) at 13°. I'm happy to announce all #guppies (and #ancistrus) alive; albeit incredibly sluggish. Heating the room at max now so hopefully temperatures will return to sanity by the morrow!

This morning, most of the house was 10° but the #fishscrub had managed to retain heat at 19°C. The ambient temperature of the house has been in steady decline. Still no power. I measured 12.2°C in the #fishscrub and the coldest #aquarium at 15°C. I don't think my #guppies will survive the night 😭

If I lose them I don't know what I'll do. The irony being that I'm moving to an apartment next month where none of these issues will be present. It's like the universe has planned this out...

newest member of my #fishscrub. not the best quality as they're pet store specimen, but some at least manageable for a breeding project 😁
