Iwoots Anonymous

[chrismr]

Hi my name is chris and I suffer from IWOOTS (i want one of those) syndrome.

I am not a long time sufferer, but am totally addicted to fish...

I just can't help myself... every time I see a pretty fish I just want one so bad.... I struggle to keep myself from buying, and avoid fish stores to fight my addiction...

It has been 3 weeks since I bought my last fish

Hi Chris, you're not alone in that. We all have that problem. One of the bad things about this hobby is that once you get your tank (tanks) set up and fully stocked, you can't buy any more fish (unless you get another tank ). If you do go to the fish stores though, don't buy on impulse without researching the fish even though you think you may have room in your tank. You could end up with something that will kill your other fish or get way too big for your tank.

Hehe, don't worry, as impulsive as I can be sometimes i have a pretty good idea about many types of fish and if I did not I would ask

I amnot really as bad as I make it sound (or am I)? no wait.... yes I am

I really do struggle not to get more fish... and before anyone asks... no my tanks are not overstocked B)

I would like clown fish and those pink and yellow salt water fish, just like the fish in that tank in finding nemo but I heard setting up a nano tank is hard.

Hi chrismr, you are not alone. I had the IWOOTS really bad at one point. I was up to 30 tanks It got so bad that feeding fish became a chore. Not what I was aiming for. Certain life changes have turned me away from the fishkeeping in the past. Other hobbies (motorcycle racing, collecting firearms, mountain biking, etc...) and life changes like education, moving, marriage, and having kids have kept me away from the hobby. But, eventually I always return to fishkeeping
