What is TAFE?
The Australian Fish Education???
A problem I had when I left home (at 17) was that I had to leave my fish behind for two years, and could only take care of them when I went home to visit. I had some pretty rough housing that would have been too cold for my twenty gallon long. As soon as I could, I picked up my beloved 20 gallon and it bubbled in the background of my wild years.
I was fortunate because my mother was a fishkeeper, as were my grandparents, so caring for the tank was interesting for her. She would gladly have kept it, I think. But life's changes may make you leave your tanks behind, and I can see why your parents wouldn't want to inherit your hobby. They've seen you lose interest in dogs - if you say you now dislike them, that was a radical change.
There are lots of stages and changes ahead. The future's unwritten, and it'll be quite a ride that no one can predict.
