Fish: Re: [tropical fish club] very hot weather in Sydney...help

Thanks guys

Yes the weather here is insane...the hottest few days since 1920 I think they said...its weird as (dont know how much all the members know about Australia) but I am in Sydney in New South Wales (no floods just scorching heat thru the state) ,Melbourne in thed state of Victoria south of ushas been getting floods and temps of 19C ..

Queensland has had EVERYTHING happen since January...terrible floods in the south of the state and a horrible CAT 5 cyclone throughout the north of the state ...meanwhile Western Australia our biggest state has drought!!Its cooler toady about 32 C..soo hopefully

Should i be prepared for any illnesses (viral/bacterial) seeing the temps have been so high in tank?

Donna as far as I am aware Steve's zoo was unscathed as havent heard any reports off damage.

Thanks again..they seem ok...hungry (as always) and wanting to know whats going on ..especially the mollies :-)( as always)
