I can easily do that, my tank is around 2ft away from the side of my bed, so i sit on the end and watch the fish all night long. I swear when my Angels spawned i didnt move for 2 hours

Not even but i do make well 10+ stops a day and observe thier behavior for about eight to ten minutos. My ?husband thinks i'm a nimcompoop, he don't get it unless hes adding yet another inappropriate fish ofr me to get rid of.

Mine is in the living room also and every commerical break, I'm glancing towards the tank. I spend several minutes morning, noon, and night time feedings watching them closely. Tonight, however, I turned on the moonlights and sat in the dark for close to an hour watching them. I'm pretty sure I caught 2 dalmation mollies mating and one of my pictus that hardly ever comes out, swam circles in the front of the tank over and over. I really enjoyed him.

Now that we have fish in the tank we watch them for hours also. My 55 gallon is in the livingroom in the alcove meant for a t.v. (I like at least one room without a tv.) We moved a big comfy chair so it faces the tank-about 3 feet away. We also have a tank in the bedroom - today I added 5 glo light tetras to the bedroom tank and fell asleep while watching them. Not because they were boring- but relaxing!

I had to move mine out of my office. I work at home doing medical transcription and I could not work for watching my fish. Hubby wants one in the bedroom but I figure that will just keep me up watching fish. I do my rounds every morning feeding, watching them, and drinking my coffee. Then for a lunch break another round to check on everybody and feed all the babies. Of course after work have to make another round and feed the babies again. Last check is at night when it is time for lights out and it takes me forever to get to bed because I could just sit and watch them forever. Oh I forgot to mention all the times I get frustrated with work and just take a fish chill break. LOL Sorry for the letter, job hazard of being able to type fast.

Yes, yes I do, and my tank is tiny!
Most of my time is spent fishing tiny Platy and Guppy babies about the substrate. But that's just part of the fun

I have a pile of netflix movies that I have had for about a month now... all due to the two tanks in my living room. One isn't even stocked yet... just one fish and a bunch of plants... but it still holds my attention. I'm moving the smaller of the two tanks to my bedroom this summer after I replace my floors... and I'm thinking that I'll now have two rooms where I don't get anything done due to the tanks.
