Need To Stop Going To The Pet Store

[coyemuse]

Alright I think Im addicted to buying fish. I just bought 3 pregnant red platys.... To add to the 2 yellow and black ones, and the 2 sunset ones, and my 3 swords and the supposed molly fish... I need to stop... I think. But when I went in, They just looked miserable and the fish they were with were picking fights with them... And Im a sucker for the injured ones, or the lonely ones. my fish are all peaceful and get along well with eachother... I am CoyeMuse. And I have a problem.

Better than being a drug addict/alcoholic i suppose

First comes the addiction to buying fish then comes the added addiction of buying tanks!

Thinking of buying a 10g... or maybe a 20g and some gold dojo loaches... since kuhli loaches are rare here

Hahaha I've been through this stage. I've also been through and somehow (maybe the first time ever ) cured MTS for multi-tank syndrome. Right now I'm onto BASS better aquarium stuff syndrome. It's a bad one. I've already upgraded my big tanks filter and heater and one of my tanks lighting units and got a new filter for my qt it's bad

Easiest solution I've found, is to work for a company and then get downsized...

Not good.

Another way is think about buying a marine tank. Then look at the cost.

Actually I found done pretty good deals on craigslist, then went to the marine section at my LFS to see the fish. Changed my mind lol.

The fish are just the tip of an iceberg

 

[coyemuse]

So basically, Im doomed? LOL I can live with that

My LFS has a Hengla Rasbora with a twisted back, he can swim fine but just looks deformed. I do feel bad for him but I dont want to buy him, they were going to give me him for free but i politely declined. I kind of feel bad now.

I would have the same problem but
A: I don't have a job
B: I think it's ridiculous to pay almost $4 for a fish

 

[coyemuse]

I only pay like 2-3 per fish.... and If I want more expensive fish, I wait til coupons for my pet store come thru the mail

 

[coyemuse]

On a stocking note, do I have too many fish for my 29g tank?

 

[Man of fish]

What filter do you have. If it's a good one no.
