do you think throwing a fire retardent blanket over my tanks in a fire would protect then from fire damage?
I had an idea.

Hmm, not sure, but if the fire is very bad at all I'd say your fish are screwed no matter what you try.
It's not the heat and fire that kill people, it is usually the smoke inhalation. I bet a fire retardant blanket would help with small fires, but for a roaring house fire, I don't think it would do much. Especially if the firemen use chemical combative (foam) instead of water. It is rather toxic.
Although, I aplaud your Idea to save the fish, You should get out, those fish, no matter how much money, time, and effort you put in are not worth risking your life! iF you have other animals, Don't waste time on them either, If they aren't crated, or caged, most probably they will escape. open a window for them and then get out! ..I know that sounds harsh, But I lost a freind several years ago in a fire, because she wanted to save her cat, who was already out of the house. open the cages, open a window and leave.
that's horrible .. Sorry to hear that..
I'd bust the aquarium hoping the extra water would help put out the fire...
i'm sorry but I colud never share that mentality. my animals are the most important things in my life, I would lay my life down any day of the week to help them. survival of all or none for me. I know i'm crazy, but that's just what I beleive in.
The heat would probably kill them anyway. The blanket will relaly just stop fire not the heat. Also if the wall goes up near them the blanket probably will too.
