True or false you are more experienced with the amount of tanks you have I say false

I do not quite understand what you mean, can you clarify?

Like, do you agree that the more tanks you have, the more experienced you get or have more knowledge over fish and fish keeping? I disagree since you can use other resources for knowledge such as the Internet or books (which I use both of)
 
I have:
a 30 gallon FW community, My sister is the official owner of a 5 gallon betta tank but I do all the water changes and everything.


I want (and probably will not get anytime soon)
125 gallon Southern American Cichlid tank (Oscar, JD, Convict)
75 gallon African Cichlid tank
40 gallon SW reef (when I get a job haha reefs are so expensive)
10 gallon rcs and endler tank

I also disagree. My Lfs employee says she has 15 tanks running right now, and just the other day I had to tell her how big a common pleco got and compatibility issues with an Oscar and goldfish!
 
Yeah. Some filthy rich person could buy 30 tanks but still not know squat because he didn't do any research.

But, then again, if he is that rich, he probably has someone do all of that "necessary stuff" for him;)

To a point yes, you learn by trial and error but i am not saying that is the right way to do it. For the most part i disagree because for instance my dad has had tanks for over 30 years and has never cycled one and only does a pwc once a month. But some how he seems to bever lose any fish and he keeps fish that are sometimes tough to keep; angels, clown loaches and GBR.

I too use other recources such as the internet, books, this website.
