Tannin Aquatics Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I've had the good fortune to be in this hobby pretty much my entire life, and to work with a lot of incredibly talented people during that time- most more talented than I could ever hope to be.

Other hobbyists you know might still be in "that phase", and knowing to recognize the signs can perhaps help you do an "intervention" that will keep them in the hobby! Today's little tirade is directed at those of you who find yourself in a position to advise a relative newbie now and then, and perhaps see the "washed out bridge ahead" when they don't. It's like a very succinct "Quick guide to helping prevent your friends from f------ up their aquarium keeping experience big time." Yup. Rather catchy title, I think. Wouldn't you say? So, for your "intervention", here are what I feel are the 4 most common "fatal" fish-keeping "traps" that new hobbyists fall into, and how they can be avoided...(click to read more) fishface and fitzbella 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
