Hey, Guys. I have had some major setbacks the past few months and I thought I would see if any of you have ever had a time when you wanted to quit? I have had fish tanks my entire life and I know I still will, a 30 year old obsession doesn't just die one day.
But, right now, I really want to give up. I got a infection in my system a few months ago, lost a few great fish that I had counted on spawning. My tanks are all together so it was everywhere. Lesson learned for the future. I turned the temps way down, and waited for a while, I thought the death and dying was over. Last night, a circuit tripped and my large community was off through the night. This morning I awoke to fish I have had for a decade dead. I think the stress of the infection had depleted their immune systems. This tank had had its power off through the night before without issues.
I keep thinking these tank would make great terrariums. Maybe tree frogs...
Have you ever had a huge set back that made you want to give up?
