Funny Fishkeeping Stories

[CezzaXV]

Hello all!

I was inspired to start this thread after an experience I had today. I ordered a bottle of Prime on the internet and it arrived today leaking. I've been in contact with the seller and I'm sure all will be sorted, but my room absolutely STINKS!

It's one of those things you have to laugh about really.

Annyone else have any stories they'd like to share?

I have a cat who drinks exclusively from my 5 gallon betta tank. It started with one of my three cats popping the lid of the tank off at night. I was worried about fishing but having difficulty finding a way to keep the lid on and still allow me easy access for water changes. I finaly caught her one afternoon (first time it'd happened during the day). She popped the lid off, started drinking, backed off when the fish came to investigate, and continued her drink when he left. Now the fish doesn't pay her any mind and the cat has a constant source of fresh fish flavoured water. She'll drink out of any tank with the lid open/off but that's the only one that she can gain access to herself and I havn't seen her drinking from her water bowl in weeks. Neither of the other two cats care much about the fish at all.

Not a funny story but we can laugh about it now, years ago when I still lived at home with my parents they had a huge marine setup. One day I was playing on my xbox while my mum was doing the usual tank maintenance (I was in the lounge and she was in the room we used to call 'the family room' basically a second lounge! lol). Anyways, I remember being half way through a level of Tomb raider when the power went. At first I was annoyed that I had lost my game progress and was about to go moan at my mum . . . . . . until I entered the room and realise she is on the other side from where she would have started! Now we have always had handles on the back of all plugs for our fish tanks (like in the image below) but she had still managed to shock herself! Silly woman had a twitch in her hand for weeks after that! lol
