I'm done

[DragonScales+Doubletails]

I think I'm done with the whole fishkeeping hobby. I rescued my first reptile and am liking it a whole lot more. I've also found that I can't really afford to take optimal care of a tank, just started high school and I have very demanding classes and so little time. I think I'll stick around the forum though. On a more positive note my family plans to move more rural, I'm on board with the idea because I will finally have my own sense of privacy (I was promised a tiny home and greenhouse) and I'm currently building a tortoise enclosure from scratch.

Aw sorry to hear man...
Hopefully you fund other hobbies you like even more (like reptile keeping you mentioned).
Hopefully you stick around still!

Someday later on perhaps you will get back in the hobby. For now, enjoy your reptiles!

Reptiles are fun. hobbies come and go, but the community here is the same I’ve stuck around even though I no longer have aquariums.

Yeah, I at least want to win one POTM before I call it quits XD. I found a Praying mantis in my yard yesterday so I will have a thread abt that soon. the insect-keeping world is insane. In the future I'm thinking of building a paladarium, I won't be out of the hobby forever.

If you ever want to get in contact with a young local entomologist I can make that happen, he teaches bug classes locally

Very kind of you to offer that for him!
Never realized he was from WA as well!

Stick around. There are a lot of reptile keepers here. Your aquarium equipment might come in handy for lizards too. The tanks anyway and praying mantises are super cool. They are a whole hobby by themselves .

Definitely don't know him, but I may need to take one of his classes in the future

This fool straight up attacked my computer screen he thinks he's feisty! I didn't know a lizard's tongue could be used as a stylist.

Same, right now I only have my ABNP in my 20g long. Other than that, I have no other fish. Part of the reason i haven't been that active on the forum over the past few months. It's my senior year of highschool, so I have a ton of school to do. I also work, which takes up more time. Basketball season is also starting very soon and I'm already heavily commited to that.

I also collect shoes, so I guess that would be my main hobby right now.

Whatever happened to the saltwater tank?

One?
Ha! I had 4 the other day, with one still sticking around!

Feel ya when it comes to hobbies and keeping up with the fishes. I need to be saving up for car, college etc, but continue to ask myself what new thing I can buy for the fish instead.
