Should I build the fish shed?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Please don't take this the wrong way, but with the way you keep saying you get bored of your fish every few months etc, and how you have had more than one thread on neglecting your fish due to your own personal reasons, i would say a fish shed may not be the best idea at the moment, unless you, yourself are sure you are 100% ready to keep up with the responsibilities of your fish long term?
True, I had three tanks running and now I sold off all of them because I just feel like I want to enjoy one large tank rather than a bunch.. Now I've gotta start planning a budget to redo the floors of the shed and I'm hoping to just have one 8' x3' tank and call it a day
 
ya but you have a 200+ post count thread about not taking care of your fish and being bored. You go from bored and not doing water changes to building a shed, complete with power and water line hook up, specifically for your fish?

Instead of a shed, invest in Adderall, my honest opinion.

So what should i do? Get rid of all of my fish? It would be hell to get rid of my fish. I am attached to them.
IF (key word here is IF!) you can see they're suffering but can't "be bothered" doing anything about it then for Pete's sake, remhome them. You can't love them as much as you're claiming to IF (key word again, IF) you're willing to watch them suffer.

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just saying that IF they're suffering, and if you love them as much as you say, you wouldn't want to see them suffering and you'd do all you could to avoid/correct it. :)
 
I did water changes not too long ago. The fish are fine. If i got rid of the fish, my life would be hell. I love my koi. They eat out of my hand. I got the moving bed filter working on the pond, but I still need to install the priming pot and the UV and swap out the rusty metal strainers for plastic ones.
 
My only suggestion would be get your tanks running properly, and yourself onto a proper routine of cleaning / taking care of your tanks for a while, then if after a few months you still enjoy doing the maintanence part, build a shed...

Coz adding to the workload doesnt mean you'll enjoy the hobby anymore...
 
You also, again, have a thread about losing interest and complaining about taking care of said fish. At this point I'm almost certain you are just being an attention sloot.

you are from a place called Tasmania...If I lived there I feel like I'd be predisposed to be mean and probably a professional MMA fighter or something...
