Yes i had a fire in the room where she has her tank!
A really bad one but tank and fish withstood it, even the can of lightergas exploding and blowing out a window did'nt hurt the tank!
She stayed in there, dirty smoked water N all for 2 days, then waterchange, then after 2 days new tank ordered, moved to temp 50gallon, then set up new 240 in garage and slipped her in.
Getting hold of her was piece of cake, she more or less swam into the bucket i used to xfer her from tank to tank.
She responded very well, im monitoring values as i had to put her in fresh water!
Added bactozyme and just keeps an eye on it, swaps round 100g every 5-6 day.
Another thing, wilma turned out to be a wilma, a girl, as she just released like 500-1000 eggs!
I was pretty sure she was female but now i know
Also got to measure her and she's now 32cm
