Kinda depressed:(

i agree...it is going to good use hopefully!
 
I must be more heartless then I thought. The thought of becoming attached to a fish is just ridiculous to me. I gave away my breeding pair of convicts and my only thought was no more fry to deal with and now I can actually plant this tank the way I want.

As for the tank, hopefully you just passed on the addiction and these people will one day also have 14 tanks to take care of and end up passing the addiction on to others.

I am sure I passed the addiction on, I even told him about AC , so hopefully he will be here researching in no time:)

Ice I get attached to certain fish, I have breeding pair of jewels that I adore, and have had them for 4 years now. It would upset me if they died, they seem to have survived everything, and like to taunt the dog. I rarely ever get attached to them though, most generally, I am more attached to the tanks themselves:)
 
Selling tanks is a drag on the one hand if they're empty you think they could be put to better use by someone else on the other it's just hard to part with them. Over the last couple of years I have attempted to sell a couple of tanks but when the buyers took longer than expected to come for them I ended up restocking them. Don't they know you can't ask a addict to hold onto your tank. Of course you could always take a portion of your proceeds and buy a little teqila to help ease the sorrow.

As for not getting attached generally I don't and have no problem trading or selling a fish. When my brackish tank crashed and I lost the Colombians I was pretty bummed though.
