why my BF says i have "fish-ues" - Aquarium Advice

08-02-2006, 06:09 PM

I spend more time with my fish than with him

I am trying to convince him to let me set a tank up in his house

I say good morning to my fishies when i turn their light on

When he asks if i want to go shopping, i ask if we can go to W. Melb Aquatics. His ex always wanted to go to Nordstroms.

I put fish/aquarium supplies in my budget

My carpet is more often wet than dry

I find new stuff for my fish at the grocery store

"fish-ues"

That took me a minute! I had to say it out loud before I got it. (It was a really long day.)

I know what you mean. My BF looks at me like I am nuts too. Especially when I am scoping a place for a new tank.

And the problem is?????

I exhibit a lot of that behavior too. Fortunately I am blessed with a g/f who has pretty much the same affliction. Except she 'lets' me fret over the water testing, dosing the ferts, even the PWCs. Of course perverse fellow that I am ........ I enjoy the scut work. LOL

Maybe post a pic of your b/f in the barter section? Trade him for a confirmed fishaholic? Hmmmmmmm. Is there a fishlovers dating site?? Maybe FishyFriendFinder.com??

It could be worse. Lots of bad habits out there we could pick up. Intead of this marvelous hobby. Now if We can just figure how to reinforce the floor in the loft so it will handle a 125 gal ............

Not that I am aware of, but I'll bet if someone started one they would make a killing. Then guys could show up on dates with aquatic plants, instead of the ordinary boring bouquet of roses. hehe

OH MY GOSH! You and I do similar things (but i bet most in this hobby must do the same) I also say "good morning and good night to my fishys", and I look for fish stuff everywhere. AWESOME! Aquarium Nerds UNITE!

Oh wow. A match made in aquarium heaven. LOL

ROFL JeffreyL you had me in stitches !!

And my husband is VERY jealous of my fish, so in my opinion he's the one with the fish-use (which is HYSTERICAL ! nice phrase).

You forgot to add "watch the aquarium more I watch television with him" (what is it with guys ? why do they think that watching television in the same room is "sharing a moment" ???? LOL) and "spends HOURS on aquarium chores and AA almost every day but hasn't lifted a feather duster in weeks" ROFL
