My least favorite question is what are their names? I dont have names for any of my fish. I just go by their species/locale. Once you start talking scientific is when the ladies stop listening in my experience :(((( hahaha.

People laugh at me in school and think fish are dumb. People also think I'm crazy for only having one fish in such a big tank like dovii in a 180 and others. People also don't believe me when I tell them most fish I keep can draw blood. I get many mixed responses some of which are dumb but who cares haha I know what I'm keeping and I know how awesome it is

Hahaha agreed. My orange severum had 2 different names in the time I had him... One from each woman I dated in the time I had it.

I agree most RESPONSES in my life starting with 55 and above is " Wow that's big"

Second is, "Is that salt water?" with any thing other than gold fish!!

And the most ignorant. The guy who argued with me that I was fibbing because there is no such thing as freshwater stingrays!!!

Also on a different note the most said thing between other fish keepers is "I wish it was bigger," No matter how large the tank! When I say it it almost brings a tear to my eye. :-(

My one girl ; friend thinks it's really awesome, she said "I wish I had a passionate hobby like you"
My one guy friend just laughs
Most other people /strangers I just don't pay attention if I'm in a situation where they find out for what ever reason.
Most people fall under the fascination factor though then the oh that's gross.
My girlfriend is always telling me I'll have a bigger tank and a bigger one. She is a nice enabler haha.

Oh and the number one response I get from kids is "do you ever get fish water in your mouth?!"
