Alright... so the situation is this... I love fish, and keeping fish, I've had numerous tanks in my house in the almost 10years I've been in the hobby and my dad's been by me every step of the way... Unfortunatly I can't say tje same about my mom... She hates my tanks, even if they look wonderful and are full of beautifuly fish, she finds something to nit-pick at... Recently my basement was flooded (non-tank related, we don't know what caused it.) and my basement rugs had to be replaced, along with some parts of the wall.
Now, my tanks were out on the main floor (where it go flooded the worst) and my mom only ever wanted me to have 1 big tank, the 55gallon tank it is I said. So, my 29gallon tanks getting sold to a friend of mine, and I'm getting rid of my oscar from my 55gallon tank as it's too small for him, even alone. My angelfish, cory catfish, pleco(s) and RTBS are all going to be kept in the 55gallon tank.
So, the tanks set-up in my bathroom in the basement, and my mom is still flipping out about it because she wants it stay there and my dad wants it on the floor because he thinks it looks stupid in the bathroom. I'm not about to argue with my parents as every time I do it comes to the conclusion that I'm almost 20 years old and they have no problem kicking me out. It never happens, but as a person not yet in college, with no financial sercurity it's a scary thought...
My dad has 2 tanks at his office (a 75gallon african cichlid tank and a 72gallon reef). I'm thinking of just giving up keeping fish at my house and moving the tank down there...
Thanks for listening all... just needed to get some anger and frustration off my chest.
