The most annoying thing in this hobby?

[jessicafish]

People who overstock tanks and then won't listen when we tell them what's wrong they just say "they are all healthy"

 

[bettaowner]

People who don't do research, believe fish will grow to the size of their tank, and believe in the inch per gallon rule

Trying to keep my refugium/sump from overflowing when the power goes out. Water on the floor...YUCK

 

[Platiesareawesome]

Costs...


And the fact that I have a 10g. I knew I should've got a bigger tank to start off with, lol.

Hahaha me too! High five!

The sad part is, I actually had the chance to buy a 20g..but then my noob self thought that it would be too much work to own a 20g vs a 10g. UGH, gets to me all the time!!!! >.> I wish I knew..

Nevertheless, this hobby is quite fun.

Another thing that annoys me is when someone has a stock that isn't balanced. Like if they get one or two each. It really annoys me when they do this with schooling fish

Algae, most definitely. My 29g is covered with it.

Do you have any algae eaters or plants?

Lots of both. I am now just planning on tearing it down, dousing everything with hydrogen peroxide, and restarting.

Hmm I'd say water changes, costs, and fish not going together that I really want to go together! Hahaha

Yeah I know. It does make me mad. And it doesnt help I get irritated easily

 

[bshenanagins]

Algae, and messy water changes

 

[Ayi]

When the bucket of tank water hits your leg when you're walking to the tub during water changes. It always sloshes all over me!

.... and fish not going together that I really want to go together! Hahaha

That was my problem when I decided I was going to try SW, then everything I liked the most didn't go together and I couldn't do 5 more tanks only SW, because everything different needs to go in different conditions
So I didn't do SW . But I LOVE them...

And when you tell someone you raise dwarf shrimp and they say to eat?

When I had ghost shrimp the first question my mom asked is when we get to eat them...

Another thing that gets to me is the colour chart for the water test. So hard to distinguish sometimes!!!!!

And how the color changes in different types of lighting.
