I'm in high school too. My parents love the saltwater fish and hate the freshies but as the old saying goes "out of sight out of mind" I just keep them in my bedroom.

I only have 5 tanks running but have been up to ten with the majority in the main family room being quarantined and they wanted to see everyone and ensure they all lived. But when i bring out another freshwater tank they flip.

I get nagged by everyone in my family about my tanks lol. My wife nags me about it but then says she likes the fish when I try to sell any of the ones I have. My Dad's been on me for years like you'll never get married with all these tanks lol.

I was, my answer to it was to go fewer but bigger. 2 75s to a 145 to go along with the 180 and the 40g grow tank.

My parents always say I have to many but they both love the tanks. I'm in high school and currently have 12 setups ranging from 0.25 gallons to 75 gallons. Soon I'll also be getting a 125 gallon and either another 75g or a 500-800 gallon indoor pond.

The QT went well, but then she gets all weird when she realizes it's time for more fish. Did she think I was interested in growing algae?? :/

OH...IO
Op curious how you pay for the 5 tanks when you're in hs? Do your parents help you financially with them or do you work and cover the expenses yourself? When I was a senior in high school I bought a 55 set up with a part time job but at that time in my life I had so many other things to spend my money on (going out, girls, music, college savings etc.) How do you swing it?
