Significant other and keeping fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have the same problem my wife will notice a problem with my fish that I am more than aware of and trying to fix and it will just frustrate me more to hear her talk about it. She likes fish just not as much as me she said she always wanted a salt water tank and I said she could have what ever she wanted but if its her tank than she dose the work. She also likes to sugest what I should put in my tanks and I say they are my tanks and the ultimate decision is with me when she has a tank and dose the work than she will stock it. She is now thinking of African Cichlids instead of salt water because it will be less work.

hey, who wants someone to tell you no..... if you both work towards the mutual goal, you'll have breeding wels catfish in no time!
That would be sooo cool. Any ladies here on MFK looking for a man???
 
HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMANS!
 
wow i guess I got lucky, my wife doesn't prefer to take care of the fish sure, but she'll do it when i can't. the only problem comes in that she doesn't want to touch them so if one jumps out during feeding I better hope that she can get it with the net lol.

no she points out problems for me sure, but only after doing some homework herself. or if I'm home at the time she'll ask and accept my answer. well. . .accept it in my presence and then research to make sure I'm not full of it lol.

but it works.

Sounds like she keeps you on your toes. Wwoman are always testing are great wealth of knowledge:D.
 
Have you ever tried asking her which fish likes? If she finds a fish that she really really likes she might be more interested about them and then you can go from there!!!
Good luck... and be patient no matter who bad it seems

she has 1 betta. her other choice fish...... goldfish. she doesn't even feed the fish herself. she has me do it so basically its not even her fish. shes more interested in believing that the hills on mtv is real life 100% true:screwy::ROFL:
 
If she has no interest and says it over and over, next time she says are they gonna die just say" as many times that you have said that they are still here, I think they will be ok"

I think that will send a message but it isnt to rude
