The main reason I love stiongrays so much is that on a date, when they ask what I do for fun, I always say, I take care of my stingrays.

As far as experience goes, this has sparked alot of conversations, i.e. how you feed it, etc etc, does it have a name? and my answer is always yes; it's big papa pump.

(In all honesty, the ray's name is Ray.) But that doesn't help much in conversations---so I always follow it up with.....so do you wanna see my big papa pump.

The stingray also, serves as easier way to ask them to come home with you. Wanna see the ray? instead of wanna come up?:ROFL:


well im not the only one with non original names
eels name was eeliott
striped raphael cat is raphy
and my baby spotted raphael cat is raphito
my jack dempsey is jack dempsey
 
yeah mine definitely has impressed "dates" in the past, as they seem to love to stare at the fish. and my current girlfriend loves my tank and wants my fish. i told her i will leave the tank and fish to her in my will. hahaha

I find talking fish to non fishkeepers tends to bore them. As far as a date goes, I feel aquarium viewing would only be good as a possible line to get her into your apartment for non-fish activities.

Almost every girl I've gone out with has never had a fish tank. You have to be a little imaginative to make your fish seem interesting to non-fishkeeping girls.

I have arowanas and I tell girls "I have a few dragon fish at home." I also have a flagtail and I tell my dates "It's a lucky phoenix fish. It's supposed to bring romance to your house. If you saw it, you would probably get a little bit horrny." :)

I usually mention my fish on a first date. It gets people curious to know what a dragon and phoenix fish look like. Once you've told your date about these really unique fish that they've never seen or heard about before and if you hit it off on your date, you can say "Hey, let's go check out that phoenix fish." I've done this before and it's worked a few times. Fish CAN help you with your date. Any excuse you can use to get someone back to your place is worth keeping and fish are a great one. It's 10x better and smoother than saying "Hey let's go back to my place and do it."
 
I used to ask girls if they wanted to come to my dorm room and see my 8 inch red monster. If anyone here would care to see it, its right there in my avatar!
 
Yeah well your bedrooms better be clean and smelling good. Or that fish tank will get you no where.

A Boy with a clean bathroom is way more impressive to a girl then fish tanks.

Also, things to remember....

-Girls are not all impressed with cute goldfish being consumed by the dozen by toothy monsters...
-don't leave frozen food thawing before they come over and forget about it...
-don't let them see you start your siphon hose with your mouth...
-don't tell them about your fish getting Koi Herpes Virus, trying to convince them it's not communicable to humans isn't worth it...
Thats hilarious man, absolutely hilarious.

Actually an arrowanna a flagtail and a high fin shark together in a tank are known to bring great luck in China. I had this mix for awhile but only experianced bad luck.LOL As far as the thread don't care if my gf likes my tanks or not. I never speak of them and she never asks. She knows I do like the tanks and she supports me for that as I do with her 3 cats.

What a lame comment. Women have messy/smelly rooms just as often as men.
