Are you A Fish Hoarder?? I think I’m real close…

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hello my name is Decker and yes I am a fish hoarder. LOL. I have 15 tanks various sizes, just had my custom filter built for my 300gallon patio pond and I plan on getting a 300gal 8footer for my living room in January. Thankfully, I am also a FILTRATION hoarder as well and over filter everything and I am a water change fanatic....

This is a truck for hauling live fish in Japan. I was hoping to find an old one or just the fiberglass container from the back in a junk yard for my alligator gar. I think I have a problem.

Hello, my name is Hunter and I am a fish hoarder...

I have relapsed this past year. I previously had 13 tanks in 2000, and then got out of the hobby for awhile. I acquired a fish tank two years ago, and then another a few months I found another on CL. Then I went downhill from there...

I currently have a 56g column tank, a 125, and two 10 g grow out/quarantine tanks - BUT - I'm picking up two 75g tanks this Saturday with a double high rack stand and then Sunday I'm picking up another 75g full setup. I didn't mean to get both, really, maybe, but the guy with the full setup said his wife wanted it gone and the price was too good to pass up... and the double stacked 75 are really what my wife wants for the livingroom (nevermind I was the one who convinced her of it)...

I am slowly corrupting the wife too, I'm not only addicted but I'm an enabler too....
 
I want to see some monthly water and electric bill stats. All these multiple tank lists look dreamy and all, but let's see the bottom line, how much are you actually paying for this hobby. The numbers will be enough to put it all into perspective. Like this example - I got 25 tanks yahoo, but my monthly bill is $1,000 DOH!!! Not so dreamy now, is it, I want to see the dark side of the hobby lol

First, if you can afford the bill and justify it by your enjoyment of having fish then I don't really have an issue with that usage. With that being said I do believe we should all try to conserve energy none the less.

We have an average water bill of $45/month, and electric of $85/month.
