You know you have a problem when...

Ok, here's a thread we can add onto as we go along for some laughs.

The topic is simple:

You KNOW you have a problem when:

- you make space available in your house for tanks
- you go to a LFS more than once on a weekend
- you want every kind of fish in your tank
- you cancel appointments to do tank maintenance
- you get your better-half hooked into the hobby as well
- you've got more fish test kits & chemicals than actual supplies in your first aid kit

You get the picture I take it

Now, for all replies, just start with the completion of the subject opening line

First aid kit?

 

see edit

 

You know you got a problem when your electrical bill is higher since you started your
fish addiction

 

You know u got a prob when u have more photos of your fish than of your better half

 

So true derrick

 

you know you've got a problem when your bedroom becomes your fishroom

 

You know you've got a problem when ....
you dream about fish
you have a calendar dedicated to your fish birthdays

 

When a good portion of your monthly budget is equipment for fishtanks

Your new fish are better to watch than anything on DSTV

 

-you buy a house so you have somewhere to put your fish

 

Ha ha ha, although I'm yet to buy a house the first thing I think when I look at one is "where would the tanks go".

 

Geesh Rory....I think you take the cake so far bru

 

You have a problem when your deep freeze has more blood worms, tubifix worms, brine shrimp etc than normal cow/chicken meat.

 

when you walk by evey single shop, regardless of what shop it is and wonder if there is anything inside that can be bought for your fishies!

 

You know you have a problem when you set your alarm for an hour earlier than 'normal' so that you'll have time to feed your fish and start a new brineshrimp hatch.

You know you have a problem when the LFS phones YOU to tell you when they have new fish arriving

 

Haha, I happen to have a thread on MASA specifically for all the cool items I find in "regular" shops I've bought all sorts of bits and pieces because they might be useful for my tank someday

 

So True Zoom!!! I could walk past 20 pet shops and walk into every single one of them to see what's nice to buy for my babies.

 

I'd rather use that time to go gym

 

I'm working on that......give me time and I'll get there again

 

Trade in the gym contract and use the money to put towards your fish budget.
