So I haven't had my cats and fish with me for 8-9ish months, they're all safe with my ex until I get my accommodation properly sorted.
The last few days at around 4pm I've had the weirdest craving. I want to do a water change.
All I want is to watch the water in the gravel vac go from clear to a slight cloudy colour then back to clear.
I want so bad to pull the canisters apart and clean the sponges, to swish the bio media around in a bucket and put it all back together.
To watch my babies play around in the bubbles as the tank fills up.
I want to fill little vials, shake chemical bottles for a few hours, put drops of chemical into the vials and watch it change colour and tell me my fish are in clean water and should be happy for another week.
I just want to do a water change. I've asked my ex if I can come around and do water changes the last few days but he hasn't finished work until after dark and ain't no way in hell I'm walking around there in the dark - not in this area!
Does anyone else get like this if they spend extended amounts of time away from their fish? Or am I just overly attached?
