what do you do when your sick and need to do water changes?

[aviva90]

What everyone else said (rest, vitamin C etc). feel better

yep suck it up and do it lol

maybe the trick is to do the water changes when you start feeling sick. Oh brother, AHHHH CHOOOOO!

 

[allaboutfish]

if you never start fealing sick and it just hits you then what do you do?

 

[iheartbettas]

then i'd prioritize: who is more important, Me or my fish? If you're normal, then it would be the former. If not, there's nothing I can do for you. Get well soon buddy.

Same thing we do when I'm sick and need to feed the horses. If you NEED to do the PWC, you NEED to do it. If you have some wiggle room and your parameters are fine, then wait a couple of days until you're feeling better (but the horses eat 2x day every day, 365 days a year LOL!).

 

[Ballyhoo]

I do them anyway, so they may take longer and are harder to do...but if you're sick anyway you're going to be laying around. So do the WC and go take a nap

haha, i dont think itll hurt to miss it for a few days, i have plants to help out and good filteration in all tanks, i might even move a lily plant over to help out. hopefully ill get better soon.
