if your going to go into debt, it may as well be for some monster fish

Yeah, no kidding. I spend at least $300 a month on the hobby.
Great to see how many other folks have posted that it's helped 'em with other habits. Was keeping fish before I cleaned up, but was appalled at how my tanks looked when I got outta rehab. Dug in and got 'em ship shape and it has been great therapy ever since. Almost 15 years clean and sober here, one day at a time.
The only problem the hobby creates for me is when I make a mess in the house. Mrs. Wyomingite gets peeved. 'bout half done with the fishroom, she's OKed me getting a coupla more large tanks to fill in the gaps and says she doesn't care if I build a mega -monster tank in a separate building as long as all my other "business" is in order. It sure beats the old days...

I mean they cost a lot to run and feed etc... even when in the trade, and especially with how tight money is in the world right now. Weve got the credit crunch thing going on over here.
