Wow, that's a scare!

I woke up to the sound of a fish trying to jump out of the tank this morning(lucky for me I have my food containers stiing on all the holes in the lid). Well that doesn't happen much so something had to be wrong. Well the day before I had turned up the heater 2 degrees hoping that it would help my Afrian butterfly cichlids breed. Well the tanks temp is 89f, So I unplugged the heater and stuck in an airstone. All the fish are fine so far, except for the one fish that tried jumping, he looks like he lost a scale or two on his forehead.

It's a good wake-up call for all of us. Never adjust your heater unless you can check it for accuracy for the next day or 2. Denny
