After you buy a massive tank do you stop buying more tanks to put more fish in? Or will you continue after months of getting the monster tank just right?
DOES FISH HOBBY SICKNESS STOP AFTER YOU HAVE THE MASSIVE TANK?

Ive been in the hobby a few months strated with a 10gal then got another. Then I picked up a 30 & 20gal. Earlier this week I got a 120gal setting it up tonight. Im already thinking abot a 200+ gal. What I and my wife have noticed is that I have become the monster!!! bwahahahaha!!! So my answer is no it doesnt stop only gets worst and I LOVE it!
I started out in the hobby over a decade ago with a 20 gallon, then eventually I upgraded to a 55, then I took down the 55 and didn't have fish for almost a year, then I set up an old .5 gallon bowl and got a betta, which sparked my interest in fish again, so then I got my 220 last July, then I upgraded the betta tank to a 2 gallon because I decided that it was cruel to put a fish in an unfiltered, un-airated tank, and my next tank will be a 5.5 gallon. If I ever get a tank that is larger than my 220, it will be years from now when I have my own place and the money for maintenance.
I'm ill, not sick! I think one day I will have my perfect blend of fish and tanks. As of now, there are still a few choice specimens that I want. What I want can thrive comfortably in a 120 and 220gal. With two tanks stocked with a perfect balance of prized fish, I think my 'Illness' will be sustained.
never had a big tank [ biggest only 20g but getting bigger ] but i dont think any size would stop me from wanting more
I slowed down after I got my 75, not massive but it's big compared to the other tanks i have which range from 10-40 gallons.
