What keeps you motivated in this hobby. I have peaks and trophs, at the moment lost all motivation to do anything fish related other than feed them. I use to change the water twice a week and spend hours staring at my tanks now I probably do the tanks every two weeks. Just need a spark any suggestions. Thinking about scrapping all my stock and start from scratch but just no 5 months down the line ill have pretty much the same fish back.

New stock.

Look into a new species of fish you have never kept before.

DIY projects are also pretty motivating for me.
 
All about gettin the new fish but I've pretty much had every type of fish and alwys go back to cichlids lol and now I've pretty much owned most big cichlids. I suppose Im just gettin lazy.

Maybe you can try breeding some fish that dont commonly breed in aquariums.

Predatory catfish are the best to hand feed. You could get an electric catfish and grab him every once in awhile. That'd spark up your fish life. Or try to get your hands on a couple candaroo and throw a whole ham in and watch em go. Or back to the old classic. Get a friend over and you both put a finger in the dovii tank and play chicken.

Raising baby fish to adults. And collecting rare fish.
 
My tanks are fully stocked and I don't intend on selling any fish so I've turned my focus to aquascaping.

Being on mfk motivates me. Seeing all the people on here with nice tanks and rare fish in perfect condition inspires me to care for my fish as best as I can.
