I spent 72 hours constant watch in shifts with the misses over new year to keep a sick fish alive till I could get the correct medication. over that time I developed about 10 different new treatments and pulled the fish back from death 3 times. I probably spent 25 of those hours scouring the net for info. The fish cost $12Au when I bought it.......does that qualify?
I also love quoting scientific names of fish whenever anyone calls them by common name....thats a little nerdy.....also quite arrogant, rude and smug.....I hate smug b#st#rds!!!!

I love it!
I bought a 250 g tank for a $6 Oscar, does that count?
I'd do it again for the same fish, too.
 
When you work at a LFS. When the first thing you show people in your house is your show tank. then you show them your other smaller tanks. Then your pond, then give them a beer and sit in front of the show tank and talk about the fish doing thier thing. ^.^
 
.....when your wife catches you on this site and asks why you don't look at porn like a regular guy.
 
^ ROFL!
 
I work on a porn site behind the scenes, I constantly get told to get off the fish forums and back to work/porn.....It anoys me, I'd rather be on the fish forum!

You know you are a fish nerd when...

the nearest 6 lfs all know you by name and you can get employees sacked if they don't do their jobs....

friends call you at 3 am because they have a tank problem, you get up put the kettle on and talk them through the issue over the next 3 hours happily....

when the only constant sound in your house is water, trickling, bubling and splashing...

You live on toast so your fish can have prawns.....

you have more tanks than friends......

you give up your last slice of toast to catch feeders for your P.Bass...

people dont comunicate as well to you as fish do.....

At 2am in a half dressed state you exclaim to your partner "We Got WRIGGLERS!!!" as she asks you what you are doing.....

when your partner threatens to leave when you bring home a bullshark for the big pond you just built.....

LOL, BBF.
 
-When you cant leave home, until you know everything its working ok with your tank.

-When you just cant have only one tank.

-When you talk to friends, family, girlfriend and people you dont know about your fish.

-When common fish, tanks and fish stores arent enought anymore.
