i put a heater in the tank that had my mom and eggs and this morning the temp was close to 90 degrees.... should i let the tank cool naturally or should i help it??? and did i more than likely cook the eggs???

let it cool naturally. I don't know about the eggs, but look at them closly for the next few days.

see, i knew that with warmer temp they would hatch a little faster, but i didnt mean for this to happen...

yea. If you help it cool down the fish and eggs could go into shock.. and no one likes that.

thats why i didnt do it yet.... i feel sorry for the mom... when i woke up she was at the top of the water, but she didnt really look like she was panting tho'

i would say let it cool naturally because if you change the temp too much over a short period of time you are prone to stressing and killing some if not all the fish just take it slow and careful.
