did you get pm bud ?
you can post it here if you want bud
enjoy the time off between water changes   

[mrbigfish]

After 7-8 60%water changes things are where they should be. I now have an albino O, pictus cat, raphael cat and a silver dollar in the tank. thanks for all of your help, wish I'd checked the water sooner.

may sound strange but seems like we have a support going for fish keepers it really is much more than a hobby. Whenever I log on I know noone will think I'm nuts for feeling the way I do about fish, thanks all. Well actually I am nuts

[Stormbringer]

were all nuts

  Glad things are looking better neighbor. And yes, it's a wonderful obsession & we're 'blessed to be obsessed'!!!   "T"

Obsession......... that's a pretty good word for it    It is nice to have a place where you know ppl will understand why you're so upset your fish is sick...... or go crazy with you when you buy some butt-ugly fish and go all goo goo gah gah about it (the girls at work just do NOT appreciate the beauty of my Bichir  )

And yeah, we're all nuts

Glad to hear that things are better 

Obsession is definitely a good word for it, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms at the moment.  Really miss my water changes just now having been in the gulf for a week (temps of +45C    ).  Missus sounded proud on the phone that none of our fish were dead yet (don't know if that's a worrying attitude  ) after her first series of water changes although she did complain that it took her over 5 hours to do all tanks (I'm sure she'll get better with practice  ).

Lol mate

I like to think of it as a "passion"... it sounds so much less crazy then an obsession

  Adam, I agree! 'Passionate' is an excellent word. I started out 'passionate' but somewhere along the journey it turned into 'obsession' & I just can't crank it down. CRAZY?? ...... Guilty!!!      "T"
