You take a walk to say hi to the fishies that live down the street from the hotel you are staying at in Haifa before the walk down the hill (mountain )



^_^

you look for the LFS when you are on holiday...then say u aren't coming back when you don't find it....that may only apply to remote westcoast towns in NZ

...when you're still replying to a thread that was made 6 months ago...

(1) Rather than concentrate on a current dilema at work, you are thinking about new Aquascaping ideas. Or contemplation of an "Aquascaping Diary Of A New Tank" concept to keep everyone posted on the 'Net of your progress.

(2) You think about tanks you have saw and try to figure ways to improve them.

(3) Restocking tanks over and over again until you can almost see it in front of you.

(4) Realizing you are a Fish-a-holic and need help.

BTW:I have 2 Tanks on the go right now. This is fun.

Wow... I hardly realized I posted this six months ago! Pretty crazy.

You have another "fishy nightmare" and have to spend time convincing yourself that the Diamond Tetras are going to be fine because while the fish in the nightmare were shiny and silver, they were obviously not Diamond Tetras....

When you get plants in the mail (@the office) and can't wait to open the box so you do...right there....getting water all over the mixer and keyboard ....then promply set up a Water Change bucket with light and the plant cause you just don't have the time to put them in the tank right then....but still wanna see them....


^_^

when you sell your car to buy more fish tanks

I'm guilty of lots
including fp as home page and replying to this thread 6 months later

... When you really aren't shocked by the fact that this thread is revived... again... and again... and again. ^_^

lol demos.

I think you must be obsessed when you have read all 19 pages of this thread not once.....but twice

I won't reveal if i have done this or not

I've definitely read this multiple times.

LOL babel.

You know you are obsessed with fish when you can look at anyone's aquarium and name the species of every fish in the tank by the scientific name and you know all of the common and nicknames as well.

You know you are obsessed with fish when...... I got nothing...

~*~ Caviar? no thanks! ~*~

You end up kissing your lover thinking of being able to kiss your discus that have just bred

...you keep coming back to this thread enough times to notice that the "this thread is still being replied to" quips are really getting old...

><>

...when you know your betta's age to the day. (my betta is 1 year and 8 days old).

~*~ Caviar? no thanks! ~*~

i am currenly mising the end of my pinkie thanks to my arowana.

...you know the price of every species the LFS's within 20 miles carry by heart...

><>

...you sit and watch the co2 diffuser you just built for 10 minutes just to watch what happens when the bubble gets too big. ....to make sure it's working right.

You go the your LFS and you know how many fish were purchased in the past few days

..... worse, the majority of those fish were purchased by you.

when you are on a forum with two threads about how obsessed by fish you are and one is "you may be obsessed..." and the other "You know you are obsessed..." and you can only think of replies for the "you know..." one.

...thats a good one Rasco...lol

~*~ Caviar? no thanks! ~*~

when you do the following:
1. When you draw fish in your note book and are able to tell exactally what species they are.

2.You are up set because the store put a sea horse and a goldfish and coral and angel fish all on the same cake.

3. When all you want for christmas and your birthday is a aquarium.

4.When you miss your fish because you have not seen them in a day. and you do not miss your sisters that you have not seen for a year.

5. You stop because you see a aquarium light in a persons house and try to see what they have in it.

6. When you watch a show to see the fish in the background.
(I have done all of this stuff)

When you meet someone at a party and go back to their house to look at their fish.

When you bleach and then dechlorinate your own hands in between feeding each fish in case you spread something.

My right hand looks about 50 years older than my left, has about half the skin and is swelled to about twice the size. But I've stopped all the diseases in my betta tanks!

Or when you crash your car and decide to buy a new 20 gallon and a new 4 gallon ad a new female betta and choose to walk everywhere instead.

elisecroft wow!...*hands over an aloe leaf* for when you're done feeding for the day

~You want a bumper sticker that reads "will brake for fishtanks"

~You willingly sacrifice your thumbnail to the razor blade gods while working on something for the tank

~You're still waging a war on BGA in a tank even though you thought the war was over a few months ago...but still don't have the heart to send in the heavy artillery (antibiotics)...although they're comming next weekend...I'm tired of pulling green buggers from the tank.

~You buy a drill just so you can make a DIY CO2 unit

~You hunt all over town trying to find the right kind of bulbs for the tank w/o having to pay extra for them @the LFS

~You make 4 trips to the hardware store for pieces for a DIY light thinking "I have no clue what I'm doing" and laughing all the way because doubling the wpg on that tank will just be excellent .

~Your parents get you a 1 year membership to the national Aquarium in Baltimore

~You trade cookies for plants .

When you order a 150 gallon Rubbermaid horse/stock tank to be an 'indoor' pond for your clown loaches, and then realize the day before you pick it up you didn't even think about whether it can fit through your doorway!

You want a bumper sticker that reads "will brake for fishtanks"

i resemble that remark

when u go to the lfs just to look at there fish(not buy just look)....everyday(i did that for a week then stopped when my grades dropped below a B)

You are almost ecstatic about having a reason to get a new tank that's even larger. Even if it means that you had to clean 20 gallons of fishy water from the living room floor.

Did ya'll know that in times of panic, you can keep your fish in a plastic storage bucket. And I know it wasn't the right thing to do, but the tank was empty, and a net wouldn't work, but my hands did quite well at catching those goldfish and pleco. (Johnathan Patrick; pleco; was quite irate by this move, but was happy to be back in the water.)

When you go the richest girl in school's house, and everyone is soooo busy trying to impress her, but you're over by her saltwater tank drolling and saying, "Oooooo, fish!"
