A lot of the old guys have probably noticed that I haven't been around much lately. About a year ago I developed a sudden, violent allergy to fish and a mild one to shellfish. I found out in London when the hotel served nothing but fish for the mandatory group dinners. After two days of this I ended up vomiting all over my gf on a bus. Not to be gross, but it was an Pepto-Bismol pink, which means that I was bleeding internally from the allergic reaction. So yeah, it's bad. A lot of aquarium fish food contains fish in it, and my hands break out every time I touch it and don't immediately wash my hands.
So I'm getting out of the fish keeping hobby not because I don't enjoy it (well, it's not nearly as fun anymore since it's a health hazard), but for my own health. It's been fun.
