It won't stop there. As long as you're a person who says it will end when I have this and this. Just give into the hobby. You'll feel alot better. On a side note. The only way it will stop is you find yourself having more fish than you can care for but the solution that many people have is to sell off some fish and eventually they will buy more.Pangong_ilong said:I know when it's gonna stop, when i get a super red, x back and a platinum aro in 1 tank
Does it ever end?

I used to always tell myself "oh, once i get this or that, I will be done for now", or more often "ok, next paycheck is off-limits to anything fish oriented"--- what happens?? I always cave, and go nuts, usually making excuses for myself to feel better about my weakness, like"well, I really do need this for the tank,", or "what's one more, It's not that much". I can't help myself, it really is beyond a passion, it's an addiction in its own right!! So now, I have resigned myself to the fact that no, it will never end. So now, the only thing I can do, is buy more tanks, get a bigger house, and so on. LOL, isn't it terrible, LOL.

Just tell yourself that it will stop when you have breeding pairs of EVERYTHING, that way you don't feel so bad.
I slow down my buying by attempting to breed something, This diverts my attention for a little while but does not stop me buying something 'SPECIAL'.
I told myself and my gf that I would stop buying fish after I lost a $2500 dollar fish but it didnt stop there since I have 4000 points with big als. :sigh:
Wow you got 4000 pts. Well your right about giving in. No amt of will power will prevent me from buying fish. Am planning to get 4 more clown loach and wide bar dat. Arghhhhh!!!!!!Fried_fish said:
for me it started when my buddy had put up his 30gal tank. i was like sweet, i had a 50gal so i set that up. so he went and bought a 85. so i bought anouther 55. so he bought a 110. so i bought a 220. then i bought a 60, then a nano. about a month ago he said he was buying a 280. so i ordered a 540. i guess it will end when one of us gives up....or when i run out of room....im close. i already tossed my end table for my hex, then i threw out my dinning room table for my 220 (we eat on the couch). now im throwing out my bedroom dresser to fit my 540. i guess the couch is next.
