i often ask myself this question on fishkeeping. is there a way that i can stop fishkeeping. i think that maybe just one tank is enough but right now i have way to many and to many fish. i am open to any and all suggestions.

Stop buying. Look for people to "adopt" some of your fish. Move fish around until you get the one perfect tank you want and sell your other equipment. It is nice to know you have all those fish but the upkeep is hard. Better to have fewer and give them full attention.

I know that for myself, I get a real high off of purchasing and stocking a new tank. It's so exciting and all I can think about. Then the feeling wears off after a while and I find myself turning my attention to new ideas for new tanks and fish.

What helps curb my "aquarium habit" is really putting my foot down on tank and fish limits. (Current space and $$ issues help with that too right now ) Plus finding other things that give me that "high" I like so much. Other hobbies and activities that I can focus more of my time and energy towards.

Give all the fish back to the LFS, put the equipment and tanks in the garage, and let them gather dust?
