Ever been fed up with fishkeeping?

WC is like going to the Gym......no motivation to do it, but once its over you feel so good lol

What!? I love doing water changes. I do 25-50% changes on my 9 tanks weekly or even twice weekly and I think it's fun, see how much feces you can get out .

I was getting a bit annoyed not to long ago when I lost half a dozen fish by jumping with tanks with tight covers on them. The one jumped through an egg crate hole! I was also ready to throw something who cichlids, they're so annoying to me, I had a pair spawn in my 75G in April and I just got the last pesky fry out last week that was harassing all my catfish.

I agree, I'm currently back in school now and the amount of tanks I have is a bit overwhelming now. With school, job, and some what of a social life changing out 400 gallons worth of water a week is painful. I honestly don't even have time to scrape the walls of algae now..

My w/c's takes basically 5 hours due to my kitchen faucet's water pressure is weak.. 5 gallons per 3 mins or something ridiculous like that... Currently I haven't water changed in almost 2 weeks haha thank god I have mature algae scrubbers eating up nitrates lol. With one day a week I have "off" I'm really debating a city tap water filtration system to remove chloramine and chlorine so I can just set up drips but that costs nearly 10k lol..

10k for a chloramine filter ? Dude they are like $150 to get an inline one.

I only felt that way when I got into really aggressive cichlids and was worried about who was going to kill who. both with Mbuna and aggressive New worlds. I switched back to less aggressive stuff like Tanganyika cichlids and smaller CA cichlids and couldn't be happier.

Never thought of it that way but so true. i never really want to take the time to do them but when i am done it makes me so happy. And better than the gym I am not sore the next day LOL.

I've never been fed up with the hobby, there where times where I was bored but now I have 25 tanks and I've focused more on breeding dwarf cichlids, rare live bearers, and plecos. I still keep a lungfish and some large trimacs but other than that I dont keep monsters anymore because like allot of people said, you always have to worry about one killing another.

See if you feel the same way when you have a full time job, kids, kids activities, a house, and crap loads of other stuff that always seems to come up out of nowhere. On that note, I actually enjoy water changes, but I also designed it that makes it a snap

I'm sure if you got that Wels you'd be a happy camper
