Taking a break from the hobby..

[Hangman]

Hi guys, I have been giving it considerable thought, and I think I will be taking a break from the hobby for a while. With so many things going on in life, I feel like I don't give enough attention to the hobby, and knowing myself, if I can't give 110% into it, I will not be satisfied with myself. I hope to get back in the hobby sometime in the future, but for now I guess a little break from the hobby would be healthy, both from an interest point of view and from caring for the fish point of view as well.

Just reaching out to see if others have been through similar events and what your thoughts are and how long did it take for you to come back into the hobby...

i got rid of the fishes last summer. right of the bat i enjoyed having more time and money for other stuff. I was spending way too much. i'm not done forever, i'll come back to it.

I was also considering quitting but I decided to just make it simple. I just have two tanks with easy fish to take care of all I do is feed them and change water once a month and that is it. Now I spend the extra money on camera gear lol.

Sometimes you really just do need a break and when you do you'll come back stronger its part of it ive took 3-4 month breaks and came
back and started enjoying and loving it again. enjoy your break.

Bahahahahaha! I choose to make mine macaroni & cheese; a few noodles with a load of cheese balls. See, Dillon? You're gonna have lots of time to devote to absolutely nothing, lol.

Lol. Hahahaha. I love you guys!

I am pretty sure I'll come back into the hobby stronger than ever. But first, I have to look into selling everything right now.

That doesn't mean you have to be a stranger. You've still gotta come get your dose of HFB insanity.

OH, no one ever said I was going to be a stranger I have to still be here to bombard Sunny with all the pics of the new project and why I have to give up fish for a few months..

Cut down to two tanks for about six months and now I'm back at it. I would've shut down completely but I knew I would never get the real estate in the house back if I did.

What is the new project?
