lol we are all sick lonely way over obsessed fish people! lol but a significant other that loves fish.... man thats like the perfect spouse!
 
When you realize some of the clothes you pulled on on the dark were splashed with tank water during your last water change and you really don't care. I mean, my entire arm goes into at least one tank most every day anyway... Also, when even though you HATE getting saltwater on you at the beach, yet you don't mind being shoulder deep in high end brackish tank water almost daily.

Lol well for me its..


You are CRAZY about the beach. When its warm enough, your always there. You love the feel of the saltwater even if its cold, but you literally HATE to but your arm in your tank's warm saltwater..i have no idea why!!
 
When you risk making your LFS mad by telling their customers about the fish theyh are buying when the employee is standing there talking to them. Sometimes contradicting them......

I just can't stand getting covered in sand, and saltwater makes me itch like mad once it dries a little. My mom used to be a total beach bum and she thinks I'm crazy. I'll walk on the beach for hours but I avoid the water. I'll stick to the pool, thanks.

lol guy was telling this woman to get 1 black kuhli loach. I told her she would see them more if she got more. She bought 3. I saw his look lol Although I know they try to sell stuff at any cost because they are part comission....
 
When you bring a sample of your tank water to the lfs and compare it to the tanks that are housing the fish you want to see how much more you have to "tweek" to get the same test results.

You've ever got into a heated argument with the "aquatics specialist"at Petco about your tank's ammonia levels when returning a dead fish...his test strips claimed that my water was at "stress" (his exact words), when my API liquid test kit said I was a 0 ppm that morning and had been for over 2 months!!!

I get to do that today. Yay -_- so far I've never had that problem and hope to never have to.

When you start considering to get rid of your tvs and game consoles to make room for another tank. And I'm a pretty hard core gamer ;-)
