My husband prevented me developing collectoritis by keeping me limited to one tank for saltwater & one for fresh. So I got the biggest ones that would fit, 75 gallons, and learned to be VERY selective. I definitely would have gone way overboard if left to my own devices 😂 But as it stands now it works out perfectly, I'm not overloaded with maintenance (with 3 kids, I can't afford to be) and I really enjoy both tanks, I guess that goes to show one of the reasons that we make a good team, we balance each other out 🙂 (I keep him from spending all available money on tickets to sports games!)

I don't know if I am lucky or unlucky, but.... Amber Tetra are easy to keep, Neon's are terrible. Cotton mouth and die days after I get them I have given up. Never again. Amber Tetra, Firehead Tetra, Cardinals are all great. Stay away from Neon's. There is something inherently wrong with them. Just my experience. How about you ?

@@Lee.Willcox yeah I agree with you there, i think it has moee to do with the numbers that neons are collected in, transported in etc. Because they are so cheap they get mistreated pretty badly imo

I over filter. For instance my 55g denison barb tank has 2 seachem tidal 110s and it's not fully stocked. I just thelink the more the better with filtration, plus if one of the filters crashes, there's another there until I can fix the issue

Well, im guilty of impulse buying. Went to fish store today to buy gravel, blackworms and 20 almond leaves. Came out with 40 almond leaves, gravel, blackworms, a male and female betta. Oops.

I research very well, but impulse buying was the mistake i made. I bought 5 GPDs (knew the species very well by then), didnt quarantine them because I wanted to see them in the big tank. Big mistake. One was sick and killed all my Microdevario Kubotai, one Platy and 3 CPDs. Now I only have 2 CPDs and a few Platies. Never again. Planning and patience is key.
