No such thing! :D

I have... 10 in my house, soon to be 11.
 
3 Tanks right now. A 55 gallon community, 20 gallon dwarf puffer and cherry shrimp setup, and 10 gallon snail breeding....it's definately addictive. My gf even looks for deals in the newspaper now.
 
As Of Right Now I...

Have 65 Tanks going now. Is this too many tanks? Well to some people, yes it is. To me. I'm the process of setting up 4 more. Yes, this hobby is worse than drugs. I've been addicted to fish since my childhood. Got out of it for a year or so when I went through a divorce. I even got to the point where I didn't go to my club meeting, or even going to the LFS. But started to get the shakes and withdrawls real bad and couldn't take it any longer. So I started them back up. LOL! I'm also in the process of doing some collecting of some of my native species of darters, sculpin. stickleback and what ever else I can find that we have here in Michigan.
So how many tanks are too many. You Tell Me. LOL!!! :look:
 
It is not posible to be too rich or to have too many tanks. To paraphrase Gloria Vanderbilt without asking her permission.

I think that I have 24 operating today. But it fluctuates. My personal peak was 40. I tell myself that I really want only 18 - for some reason that sounds moderate to me - but that has not happened in years.
 
I currently have 7 tanks running ranging from 10gal to 55gal. I think a lot of the reasons why people get multiple tanks is because they'd like to experience new fish that they haven't kept and instead of just dumping these new fish in their existing tank, most likely overstocking it if not causing community issues, they get a new tank for them. Maybe I'm just speaking from my own 2 cents ;)
 
Too many tanks, poohy ,I diddn't know that word was in the dictionary.
