Very Early Morning Shenanigans

               ට Very Early Morning Shenanigans ට

Working Night Shift 12 hours is never easy. There are a select few that actually like the shift. I work a 2-2-3 pattern. Some are aware of the pattern and if a person has never heard of it they are lost from the start. I  will spare you the time and jump into the shenanigans. I called this post shenanigans because I never asked my wife to get a fish,for Briella, until she woke the morning of fish day while she was getting ready for work. She asked where I was going to put it and I told her I had the tank already set up. She also knew that I had been awake since 2am in the morning. Sleeping during the night is a struggle sometimes when I have off! Yes, I still keep my little one even though I'm up very early. I make a long day but it is worth it. 
The Tank!
I pulled the old fish equipment out of storage around 2:30am and began cleaning decor and the works. Yes, fish tank stones are very noisy at 3am in the morning. At least we have a down stairs that I can retreat to be awake and noisy without disturbing the family's restful sleep.  

I manage to get the tank together and let it cycle for about 6 hours before we bought a fish home.

6 Hours

                                                6 Hours Goldfish only lasted 6 hours and Passed. Yes, my wife and I decided to flush the fish in front of her and she now believes that it swims in the back of the tank of the toilet. I will never lift the lid until she is older and can warp her head around death. She came up with this story on her own. I told her to tell fishy bye, she blew it a kiss, and she cried awhile and then was over it. It broke my heart!

The Works!!! (Start Up)

The Works!! Well, after the heart break I have to do everything in my power to keep a fish. She say something about the fish from time to time and points to the tank on the back of the toilet.   I have bought every chemical known to the fish  community it hopes to cycle the tank properly. I think the las fish passed due to a large temperature difference.That is my hope. I had most of the chemicals on the fist cycle I only added one since then. So what I have learnt so far. There is a lot of information on keeping goldfish online but there is not a whole lot of solid information. More or less the information goes like this do something to the tank and wait for a week. If not do this and then wait another week. I'm a very impatient man when it comes to cycling a fish tank. So I look for ways to speed up the process. I do have a degree in chemistry and love my Job. This is important to what I'm about to tell you ...
