Is this a sign of animal hoarding (in terms of aquariums)?

Am I an animal hoarder if I decide to get a second aquarium (saltwater)? I also have two dogs and a cat. I'm worried that people might negatively judge me.

Why are you worried about people judging you?

If you don't post about it, no one will know...

If two tanks is hoarding, then I need the ASPCA, Humane Society, etc. I have 3 dogs, 3 saltwater tanks, 2 freshwater tanks, plus a variety of quarantine set ups of 3 additional tanks. Not being mean just honest

Nope you’re good. I have five tanks, two dogs, and two cats myself. I’d bet most Reefers are animal lovers and have a lot of pets.

Why is everyone in this forum so mean? Its not like this at fishlore.com
They were poking fun/being sarcastic. Many people have several cats, dogs, and multiple aquariums. It’s only a problem if the animals aren’t properly take care of.

I think it's probably a good thing, presuming you are not homeless yourself?

As your case worker I am authorizing two more tanks before Christmas.

Considering I have 3 Freshwater systems, a Crested Gecko, a cat, Dog, and a Saltwater system in the works; I think if anything you're underachieving if you're aspiring to be a professional animal hoarder.

Oh and forgot my wife's 2 guinea pigs.
