my friends always try to scare my red devil in the 75g. i tell them to stick their fingers in there and they are dumb enough to and they get bitten. in my mind thats what you get for saying my fish are dumb!

Yeah people say stuff about it but once they see them they think they are cool.

One girl I brought home one time thought it was an "obsession". That one obviously didn't work out. Most of my friends aren't interested, except for in my fahaka puffer. He is viewed as a pet by other people, where as the other fish are just seen as decorations.

They think my tank is cool, especially my awesome "eels" (senegal bichirs)

When I went over and visited my Fiance in Goergia, I taught about 7 of the neighbourhood kids how to play rugby, lol.

Rugby kicks @**!!!!!!!
Anyway, I dont really get made fun of that much. My biology class thinks I'm weird for knowing so much, though. I schooled my teacher on fish biology (mudskippers don't have lungs).

They don't give me a hard time at all , but sometimes they say stupid crap. There was one time i got a betta and on my way home my friend and I stop by to get some tea. He then told me the betta will sure enjoy some tea...............................

I'm sixteen and get the anti fish comments from from time to time. two of my friends have fish tanks and i'm the one that's the most into fish keeping so they say i have a fish fetish. lol..... they would also say i was in love withe my Oscar because i would talk about how awesome he is. now that my Oscars big, and super friendly they now know why he's so bad-ass and they both bought Oscars that unfortunately died on them

I don't get too much. Some of my friends think I'm weird but that doesn't get me down. Alot of people think my fish tanks are awesome. And plus, I don't care what people think all that matters is my happiness :]

Im 18 and from the Cleveland area soon to be in college so not in school right now but...
No not at all to be honest I very rarely get a hard time period. I mean we all break each others balls but my fish have never come into play, infact occasionally my friends will bring them feeders and watch the show and girls who come over think its cute (tho sometimes they think its weird that the fish watched) so its a win win for me
