My filter was off last night... will my fish die?

Question

Last night my dad accidently turned my filter off. it was off for 9-10 hours. i have 3 goldfish - will they die??

Answer 1

Hope not! But chances are 70%.

Answer 2

If they have not died, and are not acting funny, they are fine. Just turn your filter back on, and watch your fish. If the water gets cloudy or if your fish start to act funny, do a 50% water change.

    Goldfish are usually pretty hardy fish and should be fine.

Answer 3

they should be fine

dont get all wound up

i doubt they will die

Answer 4

They Wont Die

OMG

But it really depends on how big Ur tank is???

If Its a Big tank they will defiantly not die

if in a small tank they hav a 40 50% chance of dieing but if u do a 30% water change now and another tomozz and PLZ DONT DO 80% WATER CHANGE it will strese them OUT

EDIT: Leave all filter media in dont wash out u will kill of the good bacteria

EDIT: The loss of scales might be but unlikely do u hav anyother fish inthere i hav five goldfish and all of them lost alot of scales coz there where 7 long finned zebra dianos but they all grew bak so dont worry to much

Answer 5

no, if they haven't by now i doubt it.

but you definitely should do a 75% water change.

good luck :)

Answer 6

You need to do a 75-80% water change ASAP. Goldies produce ALOT of waste. They are probably suffocating in their own waste right now.
