well..in all, I think no matter what....family should always come first in our lives..you can indulge in the hobby by no means..but at appropriate time, we should tear ourselves away from the hobby for a while and be with the family and loved ones...once they see you make such sacrifices for them..they will appreciate your hobby more eventually and would not mind that much anymore...

alot of peps asked me how am I able to cope with family life and with so many fishes and tanks...its all about sacrifices..I will spend time with my son and wife in the evenings or the wkends..it is only when they are in bed..then i will go to my fishes..which at times...i lost sleep time etc...but i dun mind...to have such a balance...


I completely agree.

I also do this but sometimes i end up spending more time on my fish than on my baby boy. But great response rockygoldy... spoken like a true pro and a guy that
has been in a few heated argument with the MRS over fish. :)

Definitely agree. life is so much bigger than fish and keeping them in tanks.
Unfortunately the hobby can be addicting and you might wake up one day thinking
keeping fish IS life.

Its all about balance in life...too much or anything and everything is no good..
