I'm just trying to get a few more ideas about how you reduce stress during a water change.
I'm a shift worker so I cannot always do my water change at the same time on the same day. What I do though is use the same glass with the same plate over the top,put the glass in the same place and then feed him straight away once I've put him back. I hate how stressed he is for the first minute after being caught,I know that it's not exactly avoidable but I would like to reduce it as much as possible.
Does anyone here do their water changes without removing the fish?(I have a 10g tank so I water change with a gravel siphon) Does anyone place their fish in a small tub with a silk plant while changing?
What do you do?
