Heater dead, will plants be ok?

[Robbie X]

Hi all, my new heater went pop and I have to wait for a replacement. Will my plants be ok?
I only have some java moss, java fern, hornwort and a selection of floating plants, frogbit, Salvinia minima etc..

Your fine mate! Grew all my plants at room temperature until I recently stocked with fish. Lots of advantages of lower temperatures, it slows everything down to a much more manageable pace, easier to dissolve CO2, higher O2.

What heater did you have? I'm hearing of a lot of heaters giving up these days.

Cheers Teapot, It was an Aqua Zonic Eco 50w nano, had it around a week. I noticed that there was water inside it this morning and my temp had dropped. Contacted the company and they have put a replacement in the post.
Glad to hear that the plants will be ok, no fish at the moment, I'm waiting for more plants to arrive and for it to mature.
Eventually it will house some Nothobranchius guentheri.

Those fish are absolutely lovely - If I wasn't shrimped up, I'd be giving a home to a pair of those beauties.

Stunning little fish indeed, I have 30 eggs and am hoping to get at least one pair when they hatch. If I am successful at breeding them I'll be giving away eggs to interested forum members 😉
