    I fell into this trap with one of my main hobbies.

    I’ve always loved Aquariums and plants, and found my favorite niche in aquascaping planted aquariums. It gets expensive. I needed money to support my hobby and life. I sold a few extra plants and realized I could start making the hobby pay for itself. Everytime I sold something I’d add to the fishroom. I made ok money and eventually built an impressive aquarium collection.

    I got a bit burnt out, realizing I was spending all my hobby energy on farming and selling, rather than creating aquascapes. My selling channels also mostly dried up, and I don’t have the drive anymore to search for other markets.

    Now I’m weighed down with a fishroom that I still keep running, but pay little attention to. Not sure what I should do with it.

    I still sell occasionally, so if anyone wants any aquatic plants or shrimp, I have plenty…
