    You know your wife is also getting into it when she tells you: "Have you looked at the flowers you gave me. There are funny worm things swimming around in it. Can you feed it to the fishes?"

    When the people at the LFS know you by name you by name. But even worst... if the know your Fiances name and ask her how things are in the tank that she did not know of...

    6 tanks in the house, outside pond, planning a green house, excuse that vegetables are expensive, so i will expand on aquaponics, but its only to keep more fish...

    When you go to the lfs just after you recieved your income.

    lfs owner asks you how your fish are.

    When you breed 3 different fish and planning on breeding more.

    When you dont mind the 3 hours on a Friday to do water changes and cleaning tanks.

    even feed your fry when you are tipsy at your house party.

    When you lost some interist in bikes and start talking fish instead...
