Things you hate about Fishkeeping

[woofy]

Fish store and fish pricing:
1. no label then when u ask they make up a number on the spot
2. Tank full of firemouths but they tell you know those are africans $20
3.$5 for a tiger barb.
fish stores need to be organized and know there stcok and prices like seriously

How about things that you hate on a day to day fish keeping basis, things that annoy you like for a example i have 1 plant that just wont root in the substrate but yet all my others will......i plant this plant every other day only to find the next morning its floating !

Hate when one thing stops working and as soon as it works again another thing is breaking. I also hate how algae produces like the plague. I constantly find myself cleaning it off everyday because I'm a freak about how my tanks appearance. It's all worth the trouble though because I love our fish.

Time and money, I just had my first son so maintaining my tanks is a drag as I get yelled aat by the girlfriend to hurry it up and the cost of buying food ect. We dont have alot of spare cash floating around between rent, baby stuff and car payments, not to mention vet bills for my dog and her cats.

The affect on wild populations that the hobby causes, and the vast majority of so-called "fish keepers" whom neither have the means nor effort to care for the animals properly.

I hate the fact that every fish I like turns out to either grow to 9 ft long or is so mean that it will kill every living thing in the tank.

I felt the same way.
Crabs are a pretty good balance for me.
