You know you're addicted when....

[goddessecouture]

* Google ads on any site you go to are all for fish stuff.

* You start having dreams about fish. :1luvu:

* You make fish comparisons in normal conversation ("Well, she is as fertile as a guppy." "Nervous as a fancy male guppy in a betta tank.")

* You want to move just so you can get bigger aquariums.

* You find yourself mentally 'scaping and stocking imaginary tanks during business meetings.

haha....too funny.thumbs2:
You know your addicted when you find yourself dreaming of moving everything out of livingroom except the aqauriums and a couch..If the livingroom floods we will need an ark..lol

[Cyberra]

You know you're addicted when the sign outside your bedroom door reads "Beware of the Crazy Fish Lady", you have a betta tattoo, a custom betta plushie, and just bought a sea glass pendant with a betta painted on it.

[goddessecouture]

* You get really excited when a chunk of driftwood arrives in the mail.

[Cyberra]

>D I just special-ordered a shirt with bettas on the front. Betta addicted and DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!

[Crispy]

you know you're addicted when your tank has it's own plumbing....:ssmile:

[chrisfraser05]

when you spend more time with your fish than your family!!!

Oh and drive hours to collect just the right coral!!!

[Mrs.JayMay23]

Oh my goodness! I Think I could pretty much relate to every post in here! lol! I know I'm addicted because I dream about fish, talk all the time about fish, wear fish jewelery, and last but not least... Anyone that ever has problems with their tank or is thinking about starting up a tank comes to me for advice. lol!

Can we get a "like" button in here? lol!

[Critterstruck]

When you match most of the posts in here, and you find yourself drawing pictures of potential aquascapes in your planner when you're supposed to be planning your week (which tends to involve a trip the pet store), and you find yourself working aquariums into your illustrations ... because it was easy. You were supposed to be completing a sea-themed commission and you turned the page to draw more aquariums. Your latest projects are all aquarium-related. You wake up in the morning and fail to get breakfast because you're too busy watching your fishies. :hmm3grin2orange:

[Cyberra]

You know you're addicted when the created characters you write fanfiction about start keeping fish

[goddessecouture]

* You go downstairs to get a drink and stop to do a water change.

[Mrs.JayMay23]

You are addicted Critterstruck! lol!

[Critterstruck]

You are addicted Critterstruck! lol!
Badly. It is beautiful. :hmm3grin2orange:

You know you're addicted when you get a get a snorkel and mask so you can enjoy some alone time with your fish.

...Or possibly just grow gills...

[skullduggery1]

Or when you have too many tanks and now sleep in the closet.

[Dave66]

When you have spare time, you sit and draw up tank landscape designs. When you have 50 tanks and wonder what furniture you can get rid of to put in 'just one more' aquarium.

[lovingmyclown]

you know when your addicted when you throw the wife and kids out to provide extra room for more tanks

[Critterstruck]

... When you plan too many aquariums and suddenly realize that you will need to include a number of auto feeders in those plans in order to make them all a little more manageable, in the event that you still plan on leading a semi-normal life in which you make. And you plan on moving to the country so you can live on well water ... for several reasons (having a well and an R/O system is awesome), but mostly for the fishies. ...I wonder how many of those plans can be merged.

[angel_love]

When the lfs knows your voice on the phone....or when they call you to tell you what they just got in...or when the employee feels he knows you so well he asks you on a date...yea...that was awkward.

Or when you get paid and say "oh man if I pay this bill I won't have money for fish stuff"

Or when you catch yourself shaking the net at the bully in the tank...like he knows what's coming if he doesn't stop...

Or when you spend more time at work on this forum then actually doing your job..

[MCHRKiller]

1) When your cat runs in fear at the size of your fish
2) When you have more fish food in your freezer than human food
3) When you have solar panels installed so your fish will survive an outage
4) You no longer need a LFS, instead you opt to ship fish from all over the country to your doorstep

[Cyberra]

1) When your cat runs in fear at the size of your fish

XD That must be hilarious to watch

[MCHRKiller]

Oh it is. I had to have my Siamese put down several months ago, and recently got a new indoor kitten(avatar). Now that she is large enough to get into trouble and watch the tanks, she is very into the reef and the 100G since the fish are smaller than she is. When it comes to the 150G where the Oscar is as big as she is and likes to ram the front glass at her sight...she takes off in the other direction.

[Mrs.JayMay23]

Nice! lol! That sounds like my tank. Everytime people come over they always have to ask me if the fish I have now are the same ones that were there before. They can't believe how big they get. lol!

[mermaidwannabe]

That's a cute kitty, Jenn! Looks very pampered...

You know you're addicted when you gift yourself with a new fish on your birthday. I'm going to be doing that when I turn sixty-one on the 15th. I'll be in Lewiston with hubby, and I'm getting another little dojo for my 65, along with some more low-to-medium light plants for that tank. And, maybe six yellow glofish, as well, because I don't wish to rehome any from my 20.

You know you're addicted when you have absolutely no more room in your house for any more tanks or fish in any of the tanks you have.

Your dream house is a big aquarium and your living quarters are underneath the aquarium so you can "live with the fish". ;)

[goddessecouture]

* You're on your way to the bathroom and you pause to watch the fish ... for 45 minutes ... and forget to go to the bathroom.

Ooo, I've got that dream! Like the aquarium tunnels but with a whole living quarters under there!

[Mrs.JayMay23]

That's exactly what I'm talkin about! :) *Thumbs Up!!!*
