Hi Noura,
Sorry to hear you are having these problems-may be a long shot but if you
can get any bottled water then use that to do your water changes. Bottled
water is not ideal as a rule because it contains very little in the way of
trace elements so it is sterile but I think in your situation it would
certainly help to save your fish. Hopefully someone on here can come up
with a longer term solution for you. Is your roof reservoir sealed or is it
open to the air? if it is open then it is probably not fit for drinking &
therefore no good for your fish.
You can get some aeration into your tanks by using a small jug or cup &
simply scooping up & gently pouring back the water. Time consuming but well
worth it if you are able to do it, try to aerate each tank for a few
minutes every hour or so. This will at least get some oxygen back into your
water.
As your filters have been off for so long the good bacteria in them will
likely have died off by now so that is going to be another problem for you
so prepare to do some large water changes when you get your water &
electric back-treat all your tanks as newly set-up.
