What do you hate the most about fish keeping?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
gravel vac and adding all the different stuff in my reef tank
 
I just saw a beautiful MARINE pipefish and I only keep freshwater trop ='[[
 
not being able to have tanks the size i want... other than that i enjoy all of it..
 
I hate how much every thing costs. I could spend milions and still not hve evey thing I want.

That does make sense. I, on the other hand, had no idea what I signed up for. My dad was a control freak, and once day when I was going to the pet store to buy a replacement heat bulb for the iguana (her name was Greeney and she escaped! :(:(:() he told me, "And don't be buying any more animals, like fish or something." So obviously, I brought home a fish. It turned out to be a Pacu. Four years later and she eats more than the cat does.

And yeah, if anything ever happened to my Pacu I'd be devastated.
The only reason I knew what I was getting in to was a result of keeping fish for 14 years SW and Fresh lol Live and Learn :)

Oh! Also, when fish that were getting along so well suddenly start tearing each other apart, I wish there was something I could do (like a spanking or something) to keep the peace.

This is what I hate the most also, I had a 11 inch oscar that could be kept woth anything! and I mean anything! community fish, cichlids, other oscars. then one day it turned EVIL! started chasing everything in the tank and ripping fins so I moved it to its own tank now it tries to kill its own reflection, attacks the heater and filter inlet and even ME!!!!
 
my inability to get the fish on my want list...
 
My wife...She always tells me that I spend too much on my fish.
