What is The most frustrating part.....

[woofy]

breeding can a be alittle frustrating too, especially breeding multiple fish, moving the fry, catching the fry, protecting fry move parents here divide parents there.

Feeding time is only a hassle cause our tanks range from one side of the house to the other and then oops forgot the wafers over there, then come back then left the bag in the other room, ect.

Weekly water changes! I still use the siphon and 5g bucket and I have 15+ tanks.

You should get a 50 gallon bucket on wheels!! It will change your life. I used to have that problem. I even went to a long hose that would run out of the back of the office and even that took forever to do water changes. Once I went to the 55 gallon trash bin I was able to do water changes in almost all of my tanks in easily 1/4 of the time.

My fish room is down in the basement, I plan on putting a some type of water storage bin on the first floor 50g+ and have a hose run down to the basement. Then I just can take the hose to each tank.

I gotta say.. i agree with everyone here!
Water changes take forever with so many tanks!
And feeding time.. well.. I enjoy watching them, but it does suck when i am late for work.. i dun got much of a choice but to throw in a bit of whatever in each tank!

water changes here isn ot a big deal except that we have 4 dogs, and a cat and well 3 of the dogs have to stay in the house and the bigger one has to stay out and the cat cant get out so one of us is filling the tank and the other is just watching and holding animals. we finally got crates and tie up so we just crate the inside dogs and tie up the outside dog in the mean time.

yeah especially when ur the one mopping after the one who dripped all the way from end of the house out the front door, and clean filter crud of the carpet talk about a pain.

thats why i use a bucket to put the filter pads in while im walking it around the house

I just put in a utility sink in the basement so I just take the filter off and walk ten feet over to the sink, its great! It was such a hassle before, I will be procrastinating less on cleaning them now.
