Has anyone achieved balance and peace with thier fish collections?

the only part that isn't peaceful is feeding time with the eels, even though I use tongs and try to feed each one when away from other tankmates, there's occasionally a chance for a mishap bit that takes a piece of a tankmate.
Gymnothorax fimbriatus....really cool eel. that pic is from february 2011 when i had just gotten it.
I'm still working on getting to that point. There are so many species that I find interesting that I want to raise and experiment with to include fish, reptiles, and plants. However, my fish/reptile room is such a peaceful place. With the sound of the filters, pumps, water, etc. combined with the insulating that I have done to retain heat it is like being in my own oasis completely shut off from the outside world.
Aggressive fish are the only fish I can stand for more than a month. I just feel fish like tetras and guppies aren't worthy to be in my tanks lol. Also they're too small. I like something that's really big that catches my attention. Whenever I get a tank smaller than 15 gallons at has to be at least a giant plakat betta to satisfy me. I'm very picky about fish I keep sometimes.
Here is my sizing chart - 6" or less Very small. 12" Small. 18" Medium. 25" A little bigger than medium. 30+" Average. :WTF:
