How Much Time Do You Spend...

Just found that book at AMAZON.com $37.11Is it worth it

[pufferpuggirl]

I paid £19 for it, and that's nearly the same amount in dollars, so yeah, I'd say it is worth it. It's the best book I've seen yet on puffers, not that there's many out there. The only other book I have is one done by 'Practical Fishkeeping' magazine, but it's just general knowledge, nothing like 'Aqualog'.
I'd say if you're serious about puffers, it's definitely worth it. It shows photos of male and female species, so you can identify them. I've taken it more than once to an LFS that I intend to buy puffers from, just to make sure I'm getting what I want.

I spend about an hour a day working on my 28 ( ) tanks. If I do all the water changes in one day (which I sometimes do when I am about to leave for a vacation), it takes about 8 hours. There's always something to keep myself busy in this house.

[OCgatergal]

now that is a lot of tanks!

[pufferpuggirl]

Wow, and I thought I had alot of tanks with having 18 -- but 28, my goodness that's more than I could imagine taking care of|! I've thought about setting up my other tank, which would take my number to 19 .... but I can't imagine having as many as you Troender !!! Your electricity bill must be huge, because I know ours isn't cheap (of course the UK is very expensive, and maybe things are better where you are).

Save More Energy by Using Solar Energy Power.

And I'd happily do that, but unfortunately it costs lots of money to get solar panels installed.

Yes, I know what you mean, I remember the very first bite I received, it was my suvattii that got me, and I just wasn't prepared for it at all, and I recoiled my hand and shrieked. Felt silly afterwards.

I let Bug eat food off my fingers because it doesn't feel like a bite, more like a tickel. While Peaches don't hurt, but its hard to explain.

I spend about 3 hours doing water changes every Saturday (I use a 5 gallon for emptying, and then a small 1 gallon pitcher for filling the tanks with water, and my room's upstairs!) and about 5 minutes feeding every day so.... about 3 1/2 hours a week.

28 is counting all the tanks, including the very small ones. I promised myself to stop at 25, but... My promise now is no more than 30. It's a good thing I can't afford anything new for a long time. And, yes, my electricity bill is large. More than I can afford, to be honest.
