being a 14 year old with limited money a non understanding dad no room for more than 2 tanks and an extreme addiction to fish keeping!
My dad didn't want me to have too much fish in the house, but maybe I was a little better because I got this hobby from my dad! He wanted me take time to study so he take care of the fishes when I'm busy study for tests !

The ridiculous markup we pay here in Canada.
x 23456789765434567
 
* Not being able to have all the fish I want. (Dif water requirements, aggression, etc.)

* My fish eating any plant and uprooting any fake plant I attempt to put in my tank. I guess no means no!

* The weight of fish tanks.

* Fingerprints on my tank. LOOK WITH YOUR EYES. :irked:

* Guppies. Idk why, I just hate guppies.

* Tacky bright colored rainbow decor and rocks.

* Some of the dumb chemicals they sell. Half of these have to do more bad than good and are totally unnecessary imo.

* Trying to get a pic of my Festivums. Only fish I have that fear my camera.

* "SILVER" dollars! NOT "SAND" dollars!

* Fish that grow slowly. I'm patient but some fish seem to take extra long just to gain an inch!

* Finally, snobby know it alls. I know it's been mentioned alot already but it's gotten to the point where when I visit the LFS I try to avoid conversations with people just so I don't have to hear about what I'm doing "wrong" this time.
 
people who don't research what they are buying. way too many buy now, ask later type folks in our hobby.

i suppose that's just the world we live in though. everyone wants instant gratification without putting in the work or time.
