Plain ans simple, it keeps me happy and sane. I work 80 hours a week, 7 days a week, with maybe a weekend off every month. All I do is deal with idoits all day. So feeding my fish twice a day, doing water changes every week, and raising cool ass fish that reward you by getting fat, is what sooths me every day. They sheath my blade and my family knows it. Thats why i can have as many tanks or fish as I please.
SAME here...
 
For me it's all about the fish. They are soothing,facinating.entertaining and interesting. They work wonders on my brain.
 
I just find them facinating. It also keeps me out of trouble too :grinno:
 
HAHAHA I love Steve and Phullys answer...

MasterMings reply made me think a lot...i think were on the same page too. Though i dont work as hard as you and Neo... hehehe.

started this fish keeping last july only... but now just crazy about it.. almost visit different fish shop everyday.... :screwy:
 
Well, on my part, I believe that I still dont know why I spend obscene amount of money and time on this hobby...I dont know why I worry about my fish when they get ill, like a father would his own child... I dont know why I continue to talk to my fish infront of my guess, and for some reason act like they talk back and i understand what they're saying back :screwy:

Hell, why am I in this hobby???!!! :wall: :grinyes:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, it helps me keep stress off(except for something goes wrong in the tank), I managed to quit smoking(40 sticks a day for about 7 years), I dont drink every other day, infact, I only drink once every 2 weeks or so...I dont burn a hole in my wallet when I go clubing...all in all, for some weird reason, I've become alot more cash smart because for everything thing i buy, i compare it to some new fish or filtration tech that I can invest on.. :evil_lol:
