All my lights are on timers and I'm not home when they come on.
I dont really "check on" any fish except for my cons, just to see who has eggs/wigglers/etc.

My 6 Oscars :) I'd manage to go on if I lost all my other 18 tanks, but if I lost my Oscars I'd just fold up and get out of the hobby.
Good to hear from a dedicated Oscar enthusiast, dont hear too much about them lately.I scan all of my tanks and do a quick headcount but my baby azul gets extra attention as it is my current grow out project.

I check to make sure the 3 balas are still alive... they are relatively new and I still think the ornate could eat/kill them if he really really wanted too.

what bout you?
lol... I check on my 3" mono pbass cause i am afraid the ornate will eat him... I am adding a bigger ornate to the tank in a bout 15 minutes too lol. but I think he will be safe. I'm just a little worried after the ornate grabbed ahold of a paraya about a week ago.

I count all the little arowanas and see if they are still there. Luckily I made my tops "Jump Proof" or "Suicidal Proof."
