What would make you quit the hobby

[redtailfool]

Or what made you quit before and how did you come back again?

Right now, I will quit if our tap water has become so bad that i would have to use
R.O . I would also quit if the water pressure becomes so low that i couldnt
use a python. Id give it all up if i cant have decent water pressure and water
quality.

I couldnt stand doing bucket water changes and i will never do it again.

I never used a python for a great length of time; its only slightly more convenient than using a regular hose.

I'd quit if I joined the Army.. which is gonna happen in 2 yrs! I won't be keeping fish for a looong while thereafter... I'm talking many years (up to 22 perhaps).

But then, if I hack it for 22 years, I'll be a made man who will be purchasing 20-foot-long aquariums to complement his new home in the return to civilian life.

Only way I will quit the hobby is if I am thrown in prison or something. I have tryed to quit the hobby many times but have never succeeded.

Yeah , i understand. if i get a job travelling, i would probably give it all up and settle for a betta in a bowl. Ahh ... Cant even stand the thought *Shudders*

As for a python, its convenient for sucking off dirt from a 180G tank. then i use my pump with a hose straight to the bathtub. Honestly, i wouldve never came back to keeping fish without the python.

LOL.. i have quit several times but always came back in stronger than before.


Wicked - No you wont.. youre just saying that. You will probably take a time out
but wont quit because of losing fish.

came close last time
just be to hart broken . i lost like 10 or 15 fish only thing survived was my bichirs and channa everything got unpluged while i was away in florida last summer by my freaking raccoon i had

 

[redtailfool]

If i lose most of my current stock i would just flip, take it easy and
get cheaper fish till i get my groove back on.

If something like the tank came through the ceiling, the tank smashed and all my fish ran out of water I would probably quite for a month to get over it and then start again. Also what is a python? I have never heard of them before, maby there not made in the UK?

Just had a look and the python water changer looks great! If I get my new tank I would have had to carry 70 buckets of water. I really like the gravel cleaner how there isnt some big push button start on it what gets in your way. If I get one how do I dechlorineate the water and get it to the right temp? My tap water is freezing though so I don't know how I can get the water back in.
