You know your addicted when every store you go into,you have to find out if they have anything you can use for a fish tank or supplies for them.
When you travel half a state away for frozen foods.
When you have every friend of yours looking for driftwood when they go to the lake.
When you raid the neighbors yard for rocks,lol.

I took a hike down by the Arkansas River by a big dam bridge (dam is under the bridge lol) and found a very nice piece of driftwood for my 20g!

when you seriously consider turning down a career opportunity because the state you would have to move to has a law against keeping your favorite native fish... bye bye Lil' Pike...

When you somehow end up with all of your friend's fish... <.<

I am guilty on all three counts. :D

You know you're addicted to aquariums when...

- you talk to your fish more than you talk to your friends
- you can't stop thinking about things like pH fluctuations
- said fluctuations stress you more than they stress your fish
- your friends whom you normally beg to stop bragging about their children are now begging you to stop bragging about your fish
- and you come up with four signs of addiction off the top of your head without having to think about them at all.

When you post things on this thread.

Future Marine Biologist · 08-25-2011, 10:42 AM

When at recess when you were a kid you were talking to your friends who want fish on how to care for them (true story.)

When you make a promise to your fish that you will not eat fish even though one of their flake foods contain salmon.

when you eat the same flake food as your fish.

Pigeonfish · 08-25-2011, 10:26 PM

When you fall asleep while looking at your tanks... and you dream about getting a larger tank, and the entire process happens and wake up asking where the larger tank is. o_o

Happened to me a couple days ago...

ProudWitch · 12-29-2011, 04:19 AM

when you go shopping for furniture and wonder which size of tank will fit on it.

I know I'm addicted to aquariums when
- I have more fish friends than close human friends
- I have two wallets, 1 for fish supplies and 1 for me.
- I haven't eaten fish ever since my first little under water friend.
- I have tried shrimp pellets to see what they enjoy so much.
Srsly, I love mah fishaz!

Bump since this is awesome...

You know you're addicted to mini tanks when you look at a wineglass and think, "That would be gorgeous with black sand and a single dwarf sag. Oh, and under a spotlight with a black background, and..."

I lol'd! XD

hanky · 01-27-2012, 01:36 AM

you find yourself trying to convince your wife " no honey that is not a new fish, one of the other ones just had babies" and there are no other fish like him in the tank.

had a dream I went to a new LFS and they had these little tiny elk that lived on the bottom of aquariums, coolest thing ever, then I was p!$$#d when I woke up and realized it was a dream.

And not 2 hours ago I was sitting here with GPS and laptop planning out a saturday LFS tour, I'm hitting 3 stores in a 45 mile radius.

loving this thread

Hawk1018 · 05-03-2012, 04:37 PM

you know your addicted when you sell random electronics in the house that your wife won't notice so you can have cash and no paper trail to the LFS...

Dude, I've totally done that!

When you see an unused tank sitting around in someone's house and you are immediately concerned with what exactly is going to happen to it, even though it's just a little 10 gallon and you already have three of them that you're not using yet...
