Keeping Track of what is in the tank

[i cant think]

Here’s what I’ve done, I’ve got one for both tanks.

I have way too many fish to remember the names of and I always forget one when I get asked about my own stocking list.

To most this sounds stupid but I suffer from OCD, ADD and ADHD.. I have over 10 coral, frags, shrimp, snails, clams.... the list goes on. I was wondeing if anyone had a system down for keeping a binder of some sorts to always have that info on hand? To most this is easy but im having a heck of a time so please be nice.. lol Thanks in advance.

I'm in the exact same boat! Dont worry, it doesn't sound stupid at all! I have an Inhabitant google doc with the headings: fish, corals, inverts, macroalgae and hitchikers. I've only sub divided corals into zoas, sps, and softies (excluding zoas). I havent set this part up, but I'm thinking of having all of those in a table with the other headings being: food, light, flow, aggresion etc. Hope this helps!

I keep a diary, old fashioned notebook and pen.

I'm older school and use a pencil. All my notes, appointments, inventions and everything else I need to do is in a spiral notebook or a regular notebook which we had before someone invented spiral notebooks.

Paul, can you share a few pictures of
your tank?

I can, but there are dozens of pictures on these forums going back to when they invented computers and decades before.

I have way too many fish to remember the names of

Some of my fish are over 30 years old so I certainly have no idea how many or what I have.

This is a brand new computer and didn't figure out yet how to transfer my pictures over from my old computer so not much on here. I have a few.
