A bit of fun...Fish Nerds

[DAnCSF]

First I'm gonna use the term Fish Nerd as an endearment....

In every hobby there are those with a great amount of passion and I love meeting those people....but how do you know when you've joined the ranks of the passionate? here's a tongue in cheek list...you know you're a fish Nerd when....

1. You eschew the term fish keeper but consider yourself a fish guardian....
2. You prepare fish food, I'm thinking the Repashy line vs...opening a can of flakes...
3. You have separate daily containers of species specific food for your kids to feed, while you are away...
4. Your better half complains about all the 5 gallons buckets you collected...
5. The better half really complains when you buy a garbage can to keep seasoned water in for your tank changes....
6. That season water container is on wheels....
7. You argue with other nerds over the relative merits of plastic bios balls vs ceramic rings....
8. Your fish tank chemicals cost more than your medial prescriptions...
9. You have a dedicated Amazon cart just for fish stuff...
10. You name your large tank mates...i.e. Kevin the Salvini, Pete and Pan the plecos....
11. You actually individually name all those schooling neons....

Have a Happy Monday ALL Feel free to add to this list...

BTW the next meeting of Fish Keepers Anonymous will be on linel

When you go on vacation you leave more instructions for the fish-sitter than you do for a babysitter on a night out

When you inform your partner that you need to move because your outgrowing your fish room.

Hello All, Mike V., Fishkeeper {response} "Hi Mike"

(I don't think a 12 step program has been developed yet. Thankfully space limitations prevents further multi tank syndrome so I won't yet be going to rehab....although I hear the Betty Ford fishkeepers wing is very nice!!!)

I'm six for eleven on that list.

You spend an hour or more every day just staring at your tanks.

You know you're a fish nerd when you have 5 or more tanks and still want more tanks.

When you order a hamburger at McDonalds and they ask ”do you want fries with that,” the first thought that comes to mind is fish fry.

You know you’re a fish nerd when you spend more time watching your fish than you spend watching tv.

You know you’re a fish nerd when the screensaver on your computer is an aquarium filled with lots of swimming fish.

You know your a fish nerd when you stay up past your bedtime with your room lights off, staring at your tanks.

 

[Fishmanic]

You know you’re a fish nerd when the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning is go straight to your fish tank and watch your fish.

You know you’re a fish nerd when you go to sleep and you dream about fish.
