Dry it out really good ASAP, use a hairdryer if you need to, full chance it is ticket, if doesn’t come back on, take it to where you purchase replacement bulbs and try to see if ballast and fixture still good (save you from having to return bulb)happened to me a million times, prob okps, make damn certain it and hands dry before plug back in to avoid shock, but most of all to avoid frying it if not already

Answer by Sarah
Amazon Extract for cichlids will help them breed happily and it will create a suitable environment for the cichlids, however I regret to inform you that a 20g tank isn’t suitable for breeding cichlids.For ane convict, the minimum tank size that it should be housed in is a 20g. When engender, those fish require more space, especially if you are planning on keeping the fry in there so that they can be raised by their parents.A 45-50g tank is more ideal.It won’t hurt to add it weekly, after all it isn’t very expensive, so I recommend you infect it an assay – once you upgrade your tank.
