Fish hoarder

Yeah I'm like that too. I have exert an extraordinary amount of self control and I'm lucky I only have one very smal LFS around me that doesn't stock some of the more rare species of fish and I can't afford online shipping so that's keeping me in line.

Someone who is moving wants me to take his whole fish lot and it took a lot but I told him I could only take certain ones because of my stocking and compatibility and because I don't have my second 55g setup (that will be my girlfriends tank). The worst part is I would ave liked to av gotten the BN pleco he had and his clown loaches but I can't have too many bottom feeders. My tank bottom is already spoken for by some Cory's and borneo suckers

FASH is worse than FAS. Fish Accumulation Syndrom - Hoarding

Or if you try maximizing your tanks by having diffrent fishes at all three levels (upper,mid, and bottom). Sometimes that doesn't work so well when you stop running out of quarantine space and/or procedures!

I would be a terrible fish hoarder, but being in high school and living with parents seems to be one of the best remedies.

I definately love fish, and if I had more money, I would have more fish. Does that make me a hoarder?

are you keeping so many fish that you are putting them in harm to keep more?...if not than no you are not a hoarder...

Animal hoarding involves keeping a higher-than-usual number of animals as domestic pets without having the ability to properly house or care for them, while at the same time denying this inability. Compulsive hoarding can be characterized as a symptom of mental disorder rather than deliberate cruelty towards animals. Hoarders are deeply attached to their pets and find it extremely difficult to let the pets go. They typically cannot comprehend that they are harming their pets by failing to provide them with proper care. Hoarders tend to believe that they provide the right amount of care for their pets.[SUP][1][/SUP] The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals provides a "Hoarding Prevention Team", which works with hoarders to help them attain a manageable and healthy number of pets.[SUP][2][/SUP]
