[AquaticLife] HELP!! My husband won’t stop buying fish!

Looks like she’s cleaning the tanks from what she stated, but not sure how often.. My husband had to put his foot down and tell me no more fish, so I can understand where you’re coming from (only in reversed roles). Just explain that you’re tired of doing all the work to keep the fish healthy and the way he’s going he’s trying to kill all the fish instead. He either needs to research FIRST and figure out what fish he wants in the future and make sure he has the necessary tank requirements for the fish, or he’s going to have to let you go do the fish shopping from now on, LOL. Good news is that all those fry should end up as food for all the other fish, just make sure to feed them less than normal and they’ll quickly gobble up the babies if they fit in their mouths. I fed my fish once a day and they were soon searching the tank for guppy fry I’d tell your husband that unless he plans on building himself a wall tank that takes up the whole half of the house that he should seriously start doing his homework or your fish are going to quickly start dying from health issues from the over stocking. I do sympathize with your husband though, it’s very easy to get caught up in all the pretty and neat looking fish and forget about how little room you have at home in your current fish tanks Good luck with the hubby, hope it works out
