For me it was last night... I had an actual nightmare about something bad happening to my tank.

This was meant to be a gift for the other half... Now it's a joint baby... Ok mostly mine. [emoji4]When I first hooked up the CO2, I had a nightmare that I woke up to a tank full of dead fish laying on the bottom.
When did I know?
I think it was when we set up our second tank. We moved our first brood of guppy fry into it. It was meant to be temporary, and it didn't have a filter yet. I was doing 50% water changes daily. A friend was going to take the fry for her koi pond but had decided that it was too cold in Michigan, and she gave them back after they spent a week in a birdbath. 19 guppy fry spent a week in a birdbath. We had all these tiny fish that I had no idea what to do with except that we had to make sure that they hadn't gotten sick in their nightmare birdbath stay. Full on panic attack.
That's when I realized that this was no longer just so my kid could enjoy her cute pet, and that I was completely into it.
I dreamed that the big tank got knocked over and smashed. The dream didn't explain how this happened. [emoji23]When I stealth set up a ten gallon in our living room as a teenager while my mom slept :/
I still have nightmares, usually I go to a place where I remember I was supposed to be taking care of the tanks and somehow forgot. Or I go into a new place/suddenly own? a petstore and the fish are kept all wrong, goldfish with pike, and they're all kinda giving that vibe of help me but stuff prevents me from starting to fix the setups
