Haha wouldve been a surprise. Bet the tanks turned back on now lol G'day, HAHAHA those sexy Rosy Barbs I once had a divided 3foot tank with an end filter where the heater was positioned and a pipe ran through the divider to pump the filtered heated water to the far end. The heater jammed on and I walked into the garage to see steam in the cool air. The tank containe Julidochromis regani pair in the end section and Cyprochromis leptosoma breeders in the filter end which had fry, the pair of Julies were dead but the Cypo's were still alive. I removed the Cypro's to another tank and the dead Julie's from the other end. The tank was turned off and left as is; some weeks later I happened to notice something move as I walked past. I grabbed a torch and was amazed to see about 30 young Julie's swimming about. They must have been eggs when the disaster happened and hatched, surviving the cool temperature of the tank & feeding on who knows what, as I hadn't fed them. It was a miracle I think.
