What do you HATE about fish keepers/keeping?

[jclyde13]

Things I hate about fishkeeping:
-I can't just use a python for water changes like everyone else
- it seems that there is hardly ever anything interesting that comes in at my lfs's (and when something interesting does come in, I'm rarely there to see it)
- I don't have the space or money to set up a few more tanks
-algae and water streaks on the glass

Things I hate about fishkeepers:
-many of them choose tank sizes based solely on their volume and/or square-footage
-their tanks often make me wish I could set up a few more tanks, myself
-it seems that most of them live in either Michigan or SoCal

I hate that my electric bill went from $90 to $350.

1. have to say no with friend when they ask me to go out cuz I have to do water change!
2. never have enough money to buy what I wanted !
3. (not for a long time now) my little brother used to tap in the glass, try to catch my fishes in the ponds, make my koi jump out of the pond, ... !
and some more problems !

I also hate when people tell their kids "look, it's nemo!"

Or when they look at my Koi and call it a Goldfish.

if they don't ban snakehead, soon it will be like red ears turtle in Vietnam ! snake head will eat every fish, frogs and even insects that can fit their mouth !

its people like you that are the reason we can not have these wonderful fish.

that was way uncalled for!

they are called Invasive for a reason, and I think most fish keepers would agree that they have done serious damage already- and legalizing them would only make it worse.

How did that happen? If you set up Christmas lights as well, maybe it added up.

Convincing your significant other there's a need for one more aquarium.

+1 to that or the need for a larger one.
