You Know Your Obsessed With Fish Keeping When...

[Spishkey]

............ when you watch your fish more than you watch the tv.......

 

[Goodygumdrops]

....... when u can succesfully convice a 4yr old that his prize collecton of wooden thomas the tank,tables,trains..etc..would be much safer in boxes under his bed than taking up all that space in the nasty very unsafe lounge.....put a tank there.. another yukky tank..ewwwwww


AND IT WORKED

Haha,when you set up another tank in your 3 year old's bedroom because it'll give him something nice to look at!!(But you forgot his new tv/dvd combo which has to sit on it's own box as a stand whilst the tank takes pride of place on the chest of drawers).

.. When eBay suggests you look at fish tanks.

 

[Inchworm]

When you do all your shopping, including ice cream from the supermarket, first and go to the LFS last, just so the frozen bloodworms don't start defrosting on the way home.

lol...

When your wife starts telling people that she's a widow, after a long hard battle she lost me to the fish.

When you spend your entire wknd building a new canopy for your tank because you got 2 new 24" lights you want to add to either end, meanwhile the skylight's been unfinished for several years now

When your wife hears you talking in the other room and asks what you said, you say "nothing hon I was talking to the fish".

When your wife asks you if you washed your hands b4 dinner and your reply is "I had them in the fish tank the last 2 hrs".

when you recognise indavidual fish at the pet shop

...you spent most of the Xmas holiday away from home worrying if the new automatic fish feeder will be doing it's job and how you can improve on it if it doesn't...

 

[Bigbadbaz]

I admit to the phoning water board to see if they have finished mucking about before doing my water changes...

 

[tibby25731]

.... no matter how hungover you feel, you ALWAYS do your waterchange on the scheduled day cos you can't bear the thought of the lil fishies being uncomfortable just cos you are a drunkard
.... your family and friends eyes glaze over as soon as you say the 'F' word
.... you are actually moved to tears at the mere THOUGHT of a fishy death

Syphoniera, you are not alone - I always talk to my fish, as if they were dogs ro cats! lol. And I stroke the tank when my big plec comes out to say hello, its the closest I get to stroking his belly

Too many of these things ring true, I need help ;p

 

[rabbut]

When you remove the coffee table in the lounge to install a walk-arround, no equipment showing, marine tank like one of work's customers...

 

[fishyfreak]

Intall a 180 gallon Cichlid show tank in your dining room, sell dining room table and chairs because they weren't being used much anyways. Replace table and chairs with rocking chair and viewing bench in case company comes.

 

[onebto]

when your work mates know as much about fishless cycling as you do and turn round and say "shut up for crying out loud"

Actually, nearly all of this rings true with me...
But I don't think any of US has a problem - it's the ones who don't understand, lol.

 

[Mikaila31]

Once you've used up all the glass tank space you setup rubbermaid fish tanks on your floor for the fishys.......

You can't wait for the weather to warm up so you can order some new fish .........

You don't want to move out of your parents house and into the dorms, cuz those dorms are fricken tiny, there is no possible way you could fit all your tanks in there w/o kicking your room mate out first.

 

[dcarmor927]

When your wife asks you if you washed your hands b4 dinner and your reply is "I had them in the fish tank the last 2 hrs".

LMAO!! perfect!

...When you go the LFS and an employee says "do you need help find...oh its you"..
...When all your friends little brother starts calling you "Petsmart"...
