fish are definetly better than birds( they are mean nearly lost a finger) and just as good as any dog(oscar for instance).

Lets face it, not everyone has seen a hefty tank setup that most of us here are so
aware of. So do you have detractors, or haters that always have something negative to say whenever they see your pride joy?


My non fishkeeping friends would sometimes smile and tease that i would be setting up a chinese restaurant ( big tanks = chinese restaurant.LOL ). I would also hear the comments like " Your fish are so big and scary! " " When are we going to fry your fish?"

Im so used to it by now that i just smile and wont even say anything. Has this happened to fellow members?

Oh god, seriously! I hate it when they say "So, when will we eat your two goldfish? They are beig enough to eat!" It ticks me off so much, but I'm used to it. I usually try to ignore them and not laugh when they say that. It's not funny.
 
I don't care what anyone says. None of their business really. At the end of the day it's me and my husband's money and hobby and we're the only ones that live here.

The only people I'd even listen to on the matter are family members, and I can just ignore them and wait 'til they leave :D
It's ok if they annoy us anyway, my husband makes up for it by annoying the hell out of everyone else because he won't shut up about the fish and tanks.

I have gotten comments about making a meal out of some of my fish, but I don't find it offensive. A few of my fish are eating size, so whatever. It's not like someone is gonna actually go fishing in my tank.

I would get the fluffy dog, but I don't think that all of the hair would be good for the fishies digestive tract... Thats why I only feed short hair breeds. :thumbsup:

Nice! :ROFL:

Yes, I also hate it when people tell me to get a dog or something...I would use that very good comeback too, gooda, but unfortunately my fish aren't that big. One day I will get some monster carnivores...and all will be well :)
Until then, I will have to think up of another comeback :D (I like this thread)
 
My grandfather. If its not my over seas car, fish, lizards or pond, or people from different countries. He always has something to say. Negative of course

Then theirs my friend Dave who thinks its funny that if I don't have a hidding spot for some of my fish that they can stress out, not eat and die. ANd he doesn't understand that aquariums have a fixed cost and its hard to find a deal on them. Cheap skate.

And to everyone who comes over and calls my fish Pirahnas.... THEIR NOT F***ING PIRAHNAS, Their SILVER DOLLARS.

I've heard
"what's that fish thingy? It looks like some *****n scientists crossed an eel with a fish. They should send it off to space!" another one says "i think it's called an arawaaana"

:swear:

You should feed your neighbors to your monster fish.

-And they dont die!

Nice...but they will shrivel up in water, and fish won't! :naughty:
 
I've been told my fish are ugly a million times
Around a thousand people said they wanted to eat my aro (may it RIP)
my mom keeps telling me the whole fish thing is stupid
and the only people that think my tank is pretty are other fish keepers :screwy:
