You know you're a MonsterFishKeeper when....

[West1]

When this is your Algae Scrubber (it is for me):

You know your a Monster Keeper when.......

You spend more than 75bucks on a fish (im sure to use MFK peeps its nothing) but I remember complaining about 20-30 dollar fish, Then I seen some stuff here and was like "Where is my wallet"

When someone shoots your tank but the bullet gets lodged in the glass.

 

[bomber]

you have more then 600gal of fish in your house.

 

[Jason_S]

you have 100+ tanks but still have more than enough eager, happy volunteers to help you move because YOU are their lfs

your dog jumps up at the tank glass and the fish don't back down

you have to sedate your fish to move them

you hear a tornado warning, walk into each room of your house and invariably mutter, "I'm screwed"

instead of upgrading a tank for a fish, you upgrade your house for a tank

you buy a second refrigerator to keep your fish food in

you go to lfs and ask questions just to see what kind of answers they give

you know enough scientific names to count latin as a secondary language

a burglar breaks into your house and is scared off, not by the sound of a barking dog, but of the thrashing around of your fish

you're still awake at almost 4am thinking up new and funny ways to know when you're a fish nerd

 

[Jason_S]

the lfs has you on speed dial

 

[Bottomfeeder]

When you get scolded once a week for all the bloodworms in the toilet.

 

[Stump]

When your fish jumps out of the tank and you're scared of more than just the fish getting hurt.

 

[leather]

I know in my case it was when I stopped guaging a tank's size by gallons but by how big a fish could turn around in it.

 

[Jason_S]

when you stop measuring in inches per gallon and start measuring in feet per gallon

When you go to school and ask every single person if they have a fish tank. If they say yes you offer to buy it. If they say no you walk away without saying goodbye.
