dilema of time

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
IME, moving with pets esp. fish is just more stress u don’t need. Sure its doable… its not fun tho and an added “worry” u can eliminate. As others have done and mentioned i left a 30gal at home cared for by a sibling/parents and also a pond with multiple turtles. They were neglected and kept alive for a cple yrs until i had my own apartments and better accommodations. Dorm life with a tank isnt worth it. Kids are stupid…been there 😂. It wont end well. I kept multiple tanks in my last college apartment. It was a straight up nightmare when i graduated and had to move out. It took a caravan of 3 trucks to get just the fish home 3hrs away. Multiple other trips for the tanks and “normal” stuff…Keep as few possessions as u can during college. As ur thinking of now, fish/tanks are harder to get rid of then they are to aquire. Easy to build a hoard again 4-5yrs down the road or when the time is right. Ur priorities and interests will change drastically. Don’t hold urself back with possessions. 💀🤙

True. I don’t think my interests will change. I’m gonna have a fish tank. Just gonna be very carful to not have people mess with it. Luckily my mom is a good fish keeper but I’m leaving only my lake Malawi tanks and grouper. I will definitely be able to rebuild. I’m just focused on school and rowing. I think my best friend’s dad who has a nice set up may be able to take the smaller loaches and plecos. Thank you all.
 
I won’t bring a lot of stuff. The goal after college is Grad school at Rutgers for PhD in marine bio. Hopefully by then I can have my fish tanks back. A lot can change in just four years. New fish may come. Some won’t be seen. More restrictions but more freedom because freedom is a mindset. No matter what I’m gonna have the fish I want. It’s just a matter of locating them.
