Impulse buys. Are you guilty?

I really need to stay away from the fish stores for a while. I seem to ignore my own advise when it come to fish. :

I wanted a little diamond goby for my sandbed and one of my local stores had one so I told them to hold it for me. When I got there I realized it was one of a mated pair that were cruising around together. I couldn't bring myself to separate them, so I bought both! Now this would be fine it I had a large tank, but I don't. So I will be feeding a lot of mysis to these guys.

They are cool and already burrowed a home under a rock, but I can't help feeling really guilty.. I guess the answer it to buy a big tank so I can keep everything. hehe .. hmmm.

Anyway. Impulse buys. Are you guilty?

 

Guilty as charged!!!
Most of the time my LFS charges so much that I am turned off from making too many of them

Guilty...although most of my purchases are impulse i did get my wrasse without researching it..and although its reef safe as of now...as it gets bigger i might have to move him

 

I've learned my lesson the hard way far too many times in my many years in the hobby. No more impulse buys for me ever....ever ever ever!!

 

Oh I'm the worst. But now I'm looking for very specific things so I do it less often.
I've never bought anything that has proven to be bad for other inhabitants but I have bought things I just wasn't equipped to care for correctly.

Guilty. I've purchased too many stuff I regret.

 

I agree with Matt, just get a bigger tank, say 300g!;D

 

Absolutly! :-[

I love my black birdwrasse, but now I can't keep any shrimp! Flipper loves them!

 

I think we're all guilty of this at one time or another. The hammer coral sitting in the corner of my tank was bought on a trip to the lfs to get some Prime.

 

Once the bills are paid the kids, husband, and home are taken care of, than no I don't feel guilty. I think of it as my pay as a stay at home mom, mother of 4 small kids, and a wife. Dinner is make every night, the house is clean, and the kids are taken care of.
