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

When your entire family and all of your close friends know the name of your biggest fish.
When your grandmother regularly asks how your fish and Reptiles are doing, mentioning each by name.
When your little sister who isn't a fish freak cries over the death of your favorite ]v[0NSTER
When your plan for what do do during a break-in involves reaching into your tank for a piece of bogwood and clocking the guy in the skull with it, and it would actually work.

Jason_S;4046942; said: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

I'ts just a rumour, there are no other websites on the internet.
I luv the one about 'you being their LFS'
You know you're a ]V[0NSTER Reptile keeper when, when you feel something in your throat, you swallow immediately for fear of caughing up an escaped feeder cricket.
From actual experience today....
when you accidentally tip half a container of food in and think "meh, it'll get eaten"...
Tipped about 5 times the usual amount of colourbits in my overstocked 160g loach/geophagus tank, after already adding a handful of sinking cichlid gold, initial thought was oh s***! but then remembered they weren't fed last night and sure enough it was gone within minutes.
