Most annoying things in fish keeping!?

Loud obnoxious noise coming from filters

Fake decorations. Seriously. I hate them. All of them. I like natural tanks, that's how they should be. The only non-natural thing I like in tanks are terra-cotta pots and clay caves. Even those need to blend in with the wood, rocks and plants.

No, I won't tell you how great that tank looks with the Grecian ruins and Spongebob decor because it doesn't appeal to me.

Oh Dragon! You didn't like my dutch windmill with the bubbles coming out!? I'm crushed! OS.

 

[DragonFish71]

OS,

Ugh NO!!!

I like it, where did you get it? You need airline tubing for it, right?

Waiting the 5 minutes for the water tests to finish. I'm so impatient!

When fish wedge them between the decor and kill themselves overnight. (lost a Large Angel to the glass and a coconut and a tetra between two plastic plant leaves of all places! Gah.)

Also ich. It's so common and so darn stubborn!

When I had angels, one of them dubbed "Big Stupid" because he seem really dense, disappeared. He was 4 1/2" tall. I couldn't figure out where the heck he went. Found him wedged inside the castle I had in the tank. Needless to say, he didn't survive. I really felt bad about that, so I ditched all the decorative tchatchka.

I hate as much as I try to level out my sand... My cichlids will ALWAYS move them and make so many mountains!

The wet arm. Remembering that the lotion I just put on 10 minutes ago might not be a great thing to be putting in my aquarium.

My life. Plus dripping the wet arm all over the floor rushing to grab a towel because of course you didn't think to grab one before your arm took a dive.

 

[Old Scales]

Oh Twiddle, I have been there with you on this one many times. lol

Seems to happen almost every day haha

Reckon the towel is never where it should be or the ends drop in the tank...

And when all done and all dry, a final check shows something has dropped off the tank cross piece to the bottom of the tank.

The arm dive is never planned is it? Looking at the tank you suddenly think... "uh oh, look at that uprooted plant, i should replant it...hmmm that plant could really use a trim.... I should remove those leaves there.... that rock/wood should be angled a little more..."

Exactly what happens!

I'm still new to this hobby (6 months) but so far the most annoying thing is how addicting it is. About to add my third tank this week. Just wish I had more money but I'm adding a 75g so that will have to hold me over for a while.
