It was interesting to read this thread. I had forgotton how scared I was when I did my first water change only a few months ago. Pretty soon it will be totally natural and the fish will enjoy it and you feel like you are really accomplishing something. It humbles me every time I look at my tank and I pat myself on the back for being able to create a safe and happy place for the fish under my care. Watching them grow and thrive is amazing.
