Heater stopped working, will the fish be OK?

[PetuniaTheCat]

Hey everyone! I was noticing some issues with my aquarium (my melenarus wrasse has not appeared in 2 days, clownfish and angelfish are hiding, toadstool polyps not extended) when I saw that my temperature was at 65 degrees. I threw in some spare 50 watt heaters to warm it back up but i was wondering if there will be any long term effects of the temperature drop. Would it be normal for a wrasse to hide in that scenario? Thanks for the help!

Not sure if it’s normal for your Wrasse but bring the temp up slow. A fast temp change may stress everything out worse.

I'll put in some stress coat stuff to make sure everything is alright. The temperature went up 6-7 degrees overnight and so far, the fish look much happier.

That’s good for o hear. Just keep a eye on everything in case something may pass away so you don’t get a ammonia spike.
