I have 7 down from 9.

I really wouldn’t recommend this hobby to anyone.

I would never have a tank again on any floor other than my basement. I have a basement room dedicated to them. I have lost count of how many times I had an issue with a blocked filter and drained the tank down to the intake…..all onto the floor while I was not home. If it hasn’t happened yet, it will….

And never have a tank in a place where you can not easily hook up a python to a sink faucet. Using a syphon and a bucket will cause you and your fish a lot of issues.

Does the power go out a lot where you live? Do you have a generator? Do you travel a lot?

Are you comfortable euthanizing sick fish? Sucks killing your friends.

Spending lots of money?

My dad retired and asked if he should get a tank? I said absolutely not.

Questions?
