The things we do for our fishy friends thread.

[Lance]

As fish keepers some of us go above and beyond the call of duty to keep our fishes happy and healthy. Let's hear what kinds of odd tasks we take on to keep 'em happy.

I'll start: My Yellow Watchman Goby is so timid he'll only peek his nose out of his barnacle hole and at feeding time won't venture more than a few inches away; consequently he gets very little food. I have to feed him via a plastic tube held at the opening of his hole. I put some small mysis, flakes and pellets in the tube and wait until they sink down to him. The pellets sink fast, but I have to stand there forever waiting for the rest to sink. I'm also in the process of growing out hair algae in the sump in order to feed my Lawnmower Blenny.
