Do any of you keep records about your fish? If so, what do you keep track of? Or am I the only one who bothers to record info about my fish?
I keep info in various sheets of a spreadsheet. I record when I obtain a fish (be it purchased, given to me, or born in one of my tanks), when I gave the fish a name, when I put a fish together with another for breeding purposes, when their babies are born, Ph and Ammonia levels, temp, when I do a partial water change and how much I change, when I clean filters, and when a fish dies. I also record distinguishing marks, especially when I have more than one of the same type of fish. I also keep track of when I set up a tank or when I empty it completely in order to move it (thankfully, I've only done this once to move the 55 gallon tank from one side of the living room to the other).
