i gotta admit it!!! lol i enjoy changing the water. i kinda got into a weekly routine of stir the gravel one nite, rinse the filter the next, then 2-3 days i change 50% of the water. my fish seem to expect it and enjoy it, cos i'm always moving the furniture, taking out furniture, putting in furniture or plants. I gotta admit tho, that i siphon it out the back door with a hose,, but i still cart the buckets to refill from the kitchen.

a couple of hours after refilling they're hanging out at the front,, they know my habits and that a feeder cup will be put in with bloodworms or some cube of frozen food will plop in, and if the modestas get their way those HUGE earthworm flakes from mike reed's will be the treat.

gosh,, my neighbors and folks would faint if they came to the door and i wasn't drying off my forearm lol.
