No room at the inn

Ok the time has come, my tank is full........I have my tetras I have my barbs.....I have my star of the tank stand-alone fish......Shark the ruby shark!!!

I should be happy, I should be reaping the rewards of finally having the finished tank I dreamt off when I started......... putting my feet up with a coffee to watch their water based lives pan out......so why am I feeling a little bit down...with nothing to aim for now?

OK where do I sign up for the addicted club to start my journey into MTS!!!

i know the feeling. my molly tank is finally how i want it. i have three betta tanks. but now i want another betta (darn gotta get a betta syndrome). and i'm waiting 'til i get a stand for my big tank for tiger barbs and loaches, have a small tank in the works for two dwarf puffers. it very addicting. if i could i'd line the walls of a room with tanks so i could continue to add and change my fishy family.

this is why the second i move out, the first thing i buy before the futon or TV or fridge or anything, is a pair of Marineland retailer tanks!

Yup nearly finished my 30gal puffer tank and already planning the next tank (well actually the next 2 tanks but the GF doesn't know about that yet)...

It's because you don't have any cory cats to make you laugh! You simply MUST get another tank!

 

[juanveldez]

to be totally honest you joined the MTS club the minute you joined up. personally I have 4 tanks in mind.... and of course I have to be totally honest with my wife..... and of course she tells me no...

 

[Lithril]

I'm trying to work on the theory that if she doesn't know till after the tank arrives then shes not going to be able to do anything about it apart from a lot of verbal

 

[juanveldez]

I wish that I could do that but when she controls the money I have no chance

ROFL

hey guys, i have the same problem with my boyfriend. when he came home a few weeks ago and saw a new empty tank sitting in the living room he looked at me, looked at the tank, looked at me, rolled his eyes and said "ANOTHER tank? you are obsessed!!!" to which i replied, "yes, i am. see my new cory cat??"

Ketyana, you sound exactly how I feel. My tank has been running as is for about 1 month and I can't stand not adding to it. I keep reading posts and looking at pictures about fish I don't have and I want to start all over again.....this is sick!

And of course like so many others here, my wife is wondering what's wrong with me

I know the feeling - I cleared out one of my community tanks a month ago and am now gradually setting up my nano-reef. I would have got another tank, but no room left in my flat.

I thought that getting one set up at work might help to control the bug, but now other departments are getting interested so I will probably be setting up tanks for them soon.

The cory cats in my tank at work have been busy spawning this week - the only problem is that I have nowhere to move the eggs to so the parents keep eating them....

There's nothing wrong with you FanOFish. She's the one who has a problem: she hasn't found the right fish to obsess over yet.

Keep showing her pictures and taking her with you when you go to the lfs and one day soon she'll get hooked too!

Ok I have cut and pasted your reply Ichworm and sent it in an email to my partner, just so he knows I dont really want another tank, but I simply MUST get it
