You know how you can be banned from a bar or a casino?
Well I have asked my lfs to ban me from their fish section.
I went there to buy 2 fish and came home with 4!

It's quite normal, especially at the beginning........

worst is going to buy some driftwood or pumps & finishing up taking some fish instead.

Yeah Brengun, most of us have been there, done that & the urge is still there after years even. Most learn to control it somewhat but it's still fun to come home with the "extra fish".
Trial & error helps ease up on some of it too.
I wish you luck with that.

That could escalate. For now it is coming home with more fish than expected.

People around here commiserate about MTS (multiple tank syndrome).

Before you know it you will be eying off wall space in the bathroom and contemplating the power source.
"With a shelf there's room for ju-ust one more tank."

There is also MBS to watch. Buying bettas is like eating Pringles, if you like Pringles a real lot

For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

I used to be addicted to bettas, and am thinking about getting another one. but i broke my addiction to them because i wanted more of a variety.
