I can't remember if I posted this or not, but when I meet someone who keeps fish, like at a party or whatever, i will literally talk their ear off about fish. Then, as the conversation goes along, I think to myself, this guy (or gal.. well, the gal part has never happened) must think i'm crazy, becuase I am carrying on this fish conversation for so long. My wife usually elbows me in the ribs and says something like "geeze, is fish all you can talk about?" Then i realize that i've been chatting for ever with this dude about fish, and maybe he wants me to shut up. Its just that I don't have friends who keep fish, so when the real life opportunity comes up to talk fish, I bust and go nuts. Non-fish people's eyes typically glaze like a three week old platy under a tank stand, after 1 or 2 minutes of fish talk, so when I get the chance with a fellow fish keeper, I must look and sound like a crazy person.

Happen to you?

Signed, lonely fish keeper.

:) true!
 
i used to talk about my fish with everyone when i was younger then i realize that no one cares any more lol...
i am lucky enough to have a friend who keeps fish like i do about every weekend we go be "fish nerds" as our other friends call it... it is good and bad to have a good "fish fiend" because the hobby is very fun and enjoyable but then your "friend" likes to pressure you into buying crazy fish stuff *cough* Dial92 *cough*
 
I have got three of my friends into keeping fish. I have like 5 contacts in my phone that I've met from trading or buyin in Craigslist . I have never met them but we talk fish and its cool with me. A few of them I have met on MFK.
Fish are just fish to people who do not have/know about fish

Im guilty of it at times too. Lucky for me I have quite a few fishkeeping friends that are local. Most lfs I go to I know everyone there too so its never a quick trip to the store unless my ol' lady is there to keep me in check.

I've bugged all my teachers at school with these types of conversations, except I don't have a wife to stop me from talking.:)
