Does anybody else worry too much about what's going on inside their fish tank/huge investment?

Sometimes when I see one of my Pbass has a pulled scale or something, I immediately think ich and panic.

My 5" hybrid cat has some gold shine on his gills and the side of his head, both sides, but I have had a TSN before and he went through this too. Then if I notice any odd behavior I think, velvet? errghh!

I'm running a 125 freshwater, FX5, live plants, and sand.

It's kind of overwhelming constantly wondering if I'm doing everything right. I had fish when I was kid and do not remember it being this involved AT ALL! I recently got back to the hobby with my own money and I think I'm doing quite well, it's just a little tiring sometimes.

Anybody have any input?
 
This hobby relaxes me and takes me away from work. You are on your own.:D
 
Yep, nothing but money and stress but I can't leave it lol.
