Hi everyone. I'm starting to become discouraged from the hobby. Overnight I lost my all time favourite fish, my Valentini puffer. He would always greet me with bubbles when I came over to the tank. I could hand feed him, he would spit water when hungry and would always perk up when he saw me walk over. He was more like a pet than a fish. I watched him grow from a tiny little inch long baby to a near full grown male who was one of the family. Even family friends would say hello specifically to him when they came over. Super healthy (well, he appeared that way anyway. Even his body looks healthy now) and fat. Best personality of any fish I've ever owned.
Has anyone else here lost a favourite fish and felt like giving up the hobby? If so, what kept you in the hobby?
Maybe I'm being too dramatic here....I do that sometimes. Anyway, I would love to know what it was that spiked your interest the second time around. I really don't want to give up this hobby, but I can't help but to feel discouraged.
Thanks in advance.
