    Tanks do take up a lot of time! I had 11 at one time, but have slimmed down to 7. The hours I work, do not allow me to do water changes during the week, so ever thing is done on the weekends. I do enjoy my tanks, but have only bought 1 new fish in the past couple years. My goal is to slim down, and only have two tanks. I still take care of the ones I have, and feel attached to them, but these fish will not be replaced when they pass on from old age.

    Hopefully your girl Will some day enjoy your tanks. I don't have any kids, but I know they take up more time, and need a lot more care, than fish tanks. You really do have your hands full.

    Oh im sorry to hear about your Orange Cromide. I had that happen with a lovely angelfish that I was treating also. He perked up and then just died and I had got really attached to him. Knocked my confidence a bit after that. Yr right..it is a constant challenge! This little tank with the BBG's is the smallest Ive ever had and its caused me more problems than all my other tanks over the years put together. You never stop learning do you? I have a 2 yr old little girl with Down Syndrome who has started to get very jealous of the tanks and the amount of time I spend looking after them, so Im now restricted to doing my maintenance late evening which is not ideal..its 1.40am here and im still faffing around lol

    Hi,
    Thank you for helping with my questions regarding the fishless cycle! I really appreciate it!

    I don't want to post another stupid sounding question, so I hope you don't mind me asking you this directly. My main question is this: Once I do the big water change how long should I wait to add my fish. Is it immediately after (assuming that the temperature is appropriate), 12 hours, 24 hours...? I ask this because I avoid doing huge water changes because of the adverse effect it can have on the fish, so to me adding fish after such a big water change goes against my nature. But, if I do a huge water change after a fishless cycle am I supposed to add fish soon after so that the benefical bacteria doesn't die off? I know that if I'm not adding anymore ammonia, the beneficial bacterial will start to die off. Thus why I'm concerned about my timing in adding fish to the tank.

    Thank you again for your help. I'm sorry for these silly and paranoid sounding questions.
