I've debated some for my JD because a real plant would never survive that.

The tank my new world cichlids in is quite bare. A few terra cotta pots is all it has at the moment. All the recent rain is hurting my scavenging time

When you go on Craigslist multiple times a week looking for good deals on anything fish related. And every ridiculous ad you see you post on bad craigslist finds

I do this. I saw a 65 gal drilled saltwater tank fully set up all for $100. Guy was moving and wanted rid of it. If I had the space it would be in my house today.

at the lfs, the owner and all the employees know me well and the the owners wife knows me. I wish I could catch my own fish.

after asking for the fish I wanted [at the lfs] he opened the hoods on the tank system and handed me a net!

You might be an aquarium nerd if you avoid the staff at fish stores because you're embarrassed that you could do their job better than 90% of them.

Yes, I often find myself correcting them.

When a lfs employee tells you that don't get any snails if you're gonna purchase 2 angelicus botia loaches. You do everything in your power not to say, " well duh !". Because that would make you a jerk.l lol.

I hate when that happens. I once got a ton of fish at Petsmart and the lady catching the fish was looking at me like I had two heads. after I told her that is was for separate tanks she was fine. Now whenever I go to that petsmart and she sees me she tells the other employee to help me.
