The temperature of your room is? It would be in your best interest to get a heater in there ASAP. Maybe a friend of yours can hook it up for you if your mom isn't comfortable doing it? They could very well survive, but that's a ton of stress to put them through, first moving them and then cold water followed by another change of temperature.

i does totally depend on the temp of your room also taking into consideration it may get a lot colder at night.
i would get a heater asap as neo advised

Room temp plays a huge factor.. Usually (when California had blackouts a couple yrs ago) I had cyrafoam(spelling??) plates taped up to cover every corner or my tank, to insulate any remaining heat there.. another alternative is wrapping towels or getting a heat bulb/lamp (for reptiles) focused on one part of the water.

I would raise the temperature in your room so that the tank water will warm up. Just until you get another heater.

Try to raise room temp. and do what Rhomzilla suggetsed.

It has been shown piranhas can survive cold water... but that isnt a reason to take a chance... try to get a heater.
