Besides fish keeping literally my only other hobbies are sports and thats it lol. I literally find myself consumed in this hobby during ALL of my free time. Whether its just sitting by my tank and watching my fish, discusing fish on this forum, watching fish shows and documentaries on netflix to youtubing fish videos lol yes i do this and i do it often.....i hope im not the only one lol

I have an obbsession and i started this thread to see if any of u consume urself as well lol

Its gotten to the point where ive asked myself why im obsessed with this hobby?...and i cant answer that question

cuz it makes u happy n keeps u occupy. Dont worry my man, i youtube asian aros, monster aquariums, diy aquarium joey all the time. I spend time with friends, free time I hop on MFK n crack a few jokes n dumb posts hoping to make people laugh. i dont watch fish documentaries/River Monsters though. TBH I watch my fish maybe at most 30 mins a day. Im always on this site looking for new ideas/improvements and the next badass monster I need to have. Hey no shame, although my friends dont understand. Lol especially when I tell them how much I spent on my BD rays...

I'm not sure either. I remember being a kid and having a small tank in the basement. My parents bought me a red tailed "shark", which I believed was a real shark. Somehow, later on, I have four tanks and I'm trying to house the biggest, most bad ass fish I can find. Maybe this starts early.

Started at age 14? Been in and out, but been steady for the past 5 years in terms of involvement
