It's not negativity, it's HONESTY! You just don't get it. You added another oscar today.....YOU CAN NOT HOUSE ALL OF THESE FISH! I have a 220, and it could not keep everything you have stockpiled into random boxes. You're ALWAYS "getting a bigger tank/pond/tub/box/coffin". Every time someone tells you something, you randomly change the subject with..."ooo, my fish has cool colors.....". Wake up! As you have been told, the devils are going to kill everything in with......what the hell am I doing.....you don't take advice. You are the exact opposite of the good husbandry this site and it's forums are about. You are a pet hoarder, period. If these were dogs, cats, anything other than fish, you would have already been fined, had all pets removed from your possession, and been ruled unfit to keep any more for a given period of time. I hate the fact that you are allowed to keep (not care for) living creatures of which you are totally and completely unfit. Somebody has to put it out in the open without the subtle hints.
Anyone that has been on this forum for awhile knows what to expect from CB's posts. He isn't going to change with all the attention he is given. Many very knowledgeable members have tried to give him excellent advise about fish keeping but it isn't making sense to him. If you really want him to learn, refrain from replying to his posts, eventually he will understand.

That's the problem though. You always say your getting a bigger tank but I've yet to see it. It would be one thing if you bought the fish after upgrading but you use the "I'm going to upgrade" excuse to justify purchases which you know you shouldn't make. I truly hope you make me eat my words but you've done this on several other occasions in the past.
CBs answer to everything now is putting them into tubs. But that doesnt fix the problem at all. And I really think hes just saying hes gonna do it, actually getting these big tubs is another story. No one can talk any sense into him, CB wants a fish, he gets it regardless of the size it will attain or the care it will need. Any advice to him is pointless because he will not listen. I dont even know wh he brags about it and lets everyone know what he does. If I kept fish like him I would be ashamed and wouldnt let anyone here know. I would expect to have negative comments towards me.
Whats his current stock now?

2 RDs
1 Texas
1 JD?

Here's a novel idea; get the big tank FIRST, THEN get the big fish to go in it.
Growing out a fish in a large tank is much better than moving it time and time again as it out-grows smaller tanks.
