Don't worry about oxygen levels unless you're overstocked or are keeping fancy goldfish.
Do worry about temperature. Six hours probably not an issue there either though.
It'll be fine. Happens...

Moving house with Aquasoil
After a nasty tank crash and losing half my livestock, I’ve decided it’s time for a major tank revamp.

I do recall reading that this does happen sometimes, but it was never my experience, so I dismissed it.
However, I feed my fish infrequently, on average once every 3 days. Perhaps that kept 'em...

The only solution that doesn't involve tearing the tank down is Siamese Algae Eaters, as a lot of others have commented. Snails won't work. Shrimp won't work. Prime might work, but I doubt it.

I have several different types of Val. I have always done full Excel dosages. They cling to life for the first week and then stop complaining and grow like crazy. I've never lost any.

No, it's best to use the Seachem bags. You shouldn't complain, they're nearly AU$25 here (about US)$25!
I've tried almost all of the above suggestions. It really isn't worth it, they won't...

Counteracting shell grit in substrate

Recently, we pulled down the tank and replaced the...

How to fill scratches in impeller chamber
I've decided to sell one of my Eheims, because it rattles a little. Wouldn't be such an issue but for the fact I need to sleep next to it, it's pretty inoffensive otherwise. Still, I've spent a great...

Which SunSun filters to replace 2217 and 2215?
After about a year of hating the things, I've finally figured out why my Classics won't fall silent - it's because they both have deep scratches in the impeller chambers. One of these I know I'm...

Not two-Apple-snails-died-last-week-and-are-rotting-somewhere smelly (I've been there). But there's still that distinct sulphurous odour that indicates something's up.
