I've researched for months, hundreds of hours of reading and videos, learned the techniques and the best equipment for my goals, overplanned and over-engineered, the list goes on. Put it all together: fish die, plants die (even floating ones), tank is overrun with algae/diatoms, the tank is tanking. I've kept fish multiple times in my life, but I always seem to get to a garbage bin and give up. I'd really like to be successful. I don't keep trying because I don't enjoy the hobby. Am I just bad at fishkeeping? Should I give up (again)? Do you struggle or do things just go right for you? How do you push through this frustration?
