Aquarium Fish Deserve A Better Life

Over the years I have kept many fish and goofed up many times in many ways. I'm not saying that I'm an expert now. Life is about learning from mistakes and not repeating them. I have bred many varieties of fish from gouramis to cichlids and guppies to goldfish and realized things like, whats the point of adding extra lives when so many keep getting lost? Whenever your fish spawn, you get hundreds to thousands of extra fish which will grow and demand more food and space and produce more bio load. Majority of them die for various reasons. Where I am at, selling fish is a waste of time and trouble, besides the sad thing is that, while you might get a few bucks in hand, the fish end up in some newbie's hands who does not know how to care for it. So, to keep it short and sweet, I have stopped breeding fish and am focused to giving those which I already have an excellent life. I am focusing all my resources to ensure they are happy. I have very few cichlids and others widely spread out in 400 liter tanks and they have all the space they need to move around without bumping into one another. So, I'm not saying that this is the end of my hobby, but rather the beginning or an improvement to the hobby.
