OH
Well, how does your spouse take to your fish addiction? Are they supportive. addicted too, or annoyed?
My wife tolerates it...
I brought home a free 55 gallon setup the other day I got from a friend (nice setup, stand & everything, Free!) The wife tried to tell me I wasn't ALLOWED to have any more tanks! LOL I had to lay down the law real quick on that one! She couldn't care less about keeping fish, I don't get it. :screwy:
 
My g/f tolorates it....but never stops *****n about it, she likes the fish, thinks they're pretty and cool, but doesn't like the time and money I invest in the hobby.

mine says she not interested but she talked me into the corner tank and she does come with me to the fish shop
 
My gf isn't a fish lover like me, but she respects that it is my hobby, helps with tank cleaning, and has started her own guppy breeding project. She loves feeding my fish and I think the hobby is really growing on her.

Ditto!
 
Not only does my wife support it she bought me my 125g as a surprise gift :headbang2 I gave her my old 55g and she started her own community tank and wants me to get her a bio cube so she can have a saltwater setup :)
 
I had fish a while ago and love them but my S.O wasn;t allowed to have them in his previous relationship, so when we got living together we had our first tropical aquarium within 1 month, that was last November. We now have 4 large tanks lol and we still want more!
 
No my wife is indifference to it .
First year we were married (married 3 yrs) she complained I spent more time with the fish ,snakes than with her which was absurd .

She doesn't know a thing nor could care less about keeping fish.

I actually prefer that .
 
Don't have one right now, but I live with my parents. My dad has his own 250g salt tank, so he loves the hobby.

My tank, on the other hand, broke (75g) and now they want me to sell everything and throw everything that I have worked for, invested in, and took time to do, out to the curb.

Not so good in this house right now.
