So what do you tell....

So what do you tell co-workers, friends and family that are not hobbiests, and others who are not into fish when they ask.. "Oh what kind of fish do you keep?" "Koi??"

I find it hard because usually I could say the names but they wouldn't know what I was talking about anyways.. lol

I just say large fresh water fish,& the first thing everyone says is
"What like oscars?"

 

[rallysman]

"stuff that you've never heard of"

 

[duke33]

everybody goes straight to the oscar tank. I guess everyone's into the Monsters!

I try to avoid that type of conversation..most people do not understand....

 

[dbcb314]

i don't think I have ever been asked about my fish... ever...

 

[Nate77]

Never talk about until they see the tanks.

"stuff that you've never heard of"

that's exactly what I say and drop the topic I hate explaining myself when the people don't understand or really care
