It should be but it is easy to get caught up in wanting a new fish because there are so many cool fish out there and never enough tank space. That is why you see so many over crowded tanks or people swapping out stock every few months. And sadly why so many people have fish that are not compatible together. Its easy to fall into fish ADD.It's great and interesting that you guys are on board with this goal.I thought that it was one of the main goals of fishkeeping all along.It has been with me anyhow.
