A Horrible Addiction. Worse Than Drugs.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
LOL you guys cant call yourselves real addicts.A real addicts spends his money on the desired object when its money he doesnt have,and has no right spending.Thats an awful lot of tanks but its obvious that anybody with that many tanks is far from hurting for $$ because the suckers take big bucks to run.

I say you know your addicted to the hobby when:

-Your stomache is growling,youve got ten bucks left in your pocket,and you buy another fish.

-Its your mothers birthday tomorrow,and youve put off buying her something till the last minute so you can buy more fish and supplies....now that your at the lfs you may as well just get her present there....those shells look nice....

-Your newest pair of shoes is like 3 years old and the suckers dont look half bad because you baby the hell out of em in an attempt to put off having to buy new ones....so you can buy more fish.

-convince yourself you want a dog,going so far as to buy a dog house and some supplies for the dog,and then at the last minute selling the dog supplies and just opting for a "wet pet"

-The instructions on the meds say to treat for 5-10 days and in the back of your mind your hoping 2-5 will do the trick....and some aquarium salt.....that you purchased at the mexican food store.....

-You get a fair deal on a new tank but is only got a filter,nothing else.Screw going out and buying lights and a hood for it put it next to a lamp it will be fine for now.

-You see something moved on your tank stand and a wave of suspicion sweeps over you.."Mariah,Mariah did you clean my tank stand?conseguir abajo aqui!!Did you clean my tank stand?!Where did you put my nets? No tocar el acuario,NO TOCAR!!"

Dude I'm pretty close on a couple of them. And I have lighted an aquarium with a lamp before.
 
I have tanks outside, on the terrace because I am out of space in the fish room....and it is raining cats and dogs in Lisbon, with temps around 10ºC..the electricity bill!!
 
I can get all them store tanks from these people i know that closed down a fishstore and has all that stuff for cheap!
 
I, I, I... do fish too. Only two of my tanks are lighted, and you guys know me as the lungfish guy... Go to LFS's almost daily (serously) before class, between classes, or after classes, and all weekend. Bought my girlfriend a baby Midas Cichlid a few weeks ago... Got a baby FH the next day 'cause I needed one of my own buddies that wasn't a lungfish... Seriously, it never ends... and yes, I'm actively hunting an Aussie lungfish (with cash to back it up) ... My dorm room regulations state "Aquariums up to 10 gallons in size" I kinda took advantage of the "s" after the Aquarium word... not to mention stretching the tank size just a bit... just a bit ;)

How many more of you actually take fish home in shopping bags to conceal what REALLY is in the bags???

I think I can speak for quite a good number of us here...
 
need to start fishkeeper 12 stepping. VINCE, will you be my sponsor??
