ok so this is going to be a long venting rant
things here are pretty sucky i don't have a job and its getting to me, i know im going into a depression but i cant afford to go to a doctor or afford the prescription, so i just have to deal with it. my goldfish hobby isn't what it used to be, tank cleaning day was my favorite day of the week now it nothing but a chore that i really have to motivate myself to do. on top of that now equipment is starting to break, one of the filters on the 55 is going and i dont have the money to get a new one. i usually buy the aquatech 30-60 because its what i can afford (35-40$)but im hesitant to do that this time because i have 3 of them and so far there nothing but noisy grinding and break within a year. AC's are expensive from the store and i cant afford one. im seriously considering taking the tank down but i dont know what to do with the fish. my husband brought up a point that even if i took the tank down i'll probably want fish in 6mths to a year, which is probably true. i know i cant run the tank on one filter but i dont think i can ignor the grinding comming from one of them either. sigh, really frustrated and don't know what to do. part of me wants to keep going because ive had my fish for so long and its unfair to them to just dump them at a pet store and not know there fate. And the other part doesn't want to keep dumping money into it when we don't have money to spend.
