Anyone else have too many fish and still want more?

[danorth]

Just curious. I am finding that this hobby is eatting into my brain and making me focus on my tanks more than I should want.

Anyone else addicted?

pretty much everyone here has the DISEASE!

 

[John@JP]

yeah my 10 gallon transformed into a 75 and a 45 in only one year!

Watch your wallet....I went from 55 to 125 to 210 in under 5 years.

 

[Hattie B]

ya me too...

I have a 135 (first) and a nano reef (just a couple months later).

I now also have a 340 that used to be my friends that she tore down many years ago.. (for when the current guys get to big)

The problem; I won't be upgrading I will be adding another tank becuase I know I won't get rid of or take down the 135, just transfer..


(Oh I have 2 FW tanks too)

Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢m gong through withdraw! I canââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t fit any more fish or corals in my 180!!! I need a bigger tank........................again. When will it stop?

 

[stykthyn]

ohh it never stops

Well, I am a deal hunter and can't say no to a free 4" clown trigger and moray eel, $27 4" blue line trigger, 4" desjardini sailfin tang for $13.50...the list runs on...

Its so crazy, I went from a 40 to a 90 back down to a 75 and am already planning on upgrading to a 210. Keeping our fish healthy and happy is actually bad in a way and what makes this hobby so addicting cause the fish live for YEARS and YEARS and you constantly want more and more fish and critters, but dont have the room

 

[MRBONNETHEAD]

Its a disease, you can never get a tank and say, OK I am done I dont want a bigger tank. Theres always a next step. I went from a 55 to a 300.

I have had too many fish for the past year and still buy more. Its addicting. When you see that rare species that you've been looking for you gotta have it! Still want a map puffer.

I started with a modest little 14g nano reef. After a few months I upgraded that tank to a 30g, bought new lighting and a new skimmer and thought I was done. A little while later I started to get the itch again... I converted my 65g planted tank to a FOWLR, and then figured since I had enough light on the tank anyway I might as well start buying corals and make it a reef. Then I bought a few 'scratch & dent' corals that needed a little hospital tank where they could recover, and that turned into a 5.5g pico reef. My husband begged me to stop, he said something about paying bills, but our clowns were harassing the other fish so we went out and bought them another tank just for them. Now we've got 3 reefs, 1 FOWLR and a FW planted, no more room or money, and I STILL see fish, inverts and corals I'd love to buy. It never, ever stops

[woodywoo]

Yea, Its an addiction. Worst than drugs I think!

 

[danorth]

I still want a blue ribbon eel, Aussie H. Tusk, a pretty blue line trigger (the bright blue and yellow), and a clown tang like in the 300 gallon video of HDTV's tank I think......

Lets start a huge commune and make our own lagoon where we can swim with them all!!! If we all added up the amout we have spent, and likely WILL spend in the future, I'm sure we could fund a massive tank!!!!

Buy some nice land where the lighting is good, make is no more than 30 feet deep, and full of all 'swims of life'!

(just made that term up!)

Yup it never stops always have to get a bigger tank. I started with a 40 tall than to a 75 than had to have a 72 bow front now a 180 or 210 shortly. Thank gosh i only have one more wall i can put tanks on. Than i am out of room.
