You might be an aquarium nerd if...

When your boss sees a pic of your really cool looking SW Camel Shrimp and says they are ugly and you feel a twinge of sadness for the comment but feel sorry for HER because she can't appreciate their beauty!

not the best pic... white blurry dot/lines are swimming larval /planktonic baby shrimp...

Oh, and also if you have your Camel Shrimp spawn babies and it is so exciting you tell your boss... (and everyone else)

Am I still an aquarium nerd if I walked out of my lfs without buying anything? I didn't even think I could do that, but I did bring in some plants and exchange a powerhead.

you and your friends sit for 2+ hours just watching the tanks and narrating what the fish are "thinking and saying", not to mention patting yourself on the back at how things turned out (moved and revamped a lot of our tanks)

I hear crickets chirping if I bring up anything like that. That's fine with me.

When your highlight of the week is attending a local fish club meeting! Surrounded by fish nerds who only talk about everything aquatic. I'm in my element at that time. I do find auctions exciting. Bringing a big cooler and wad of cash with me.

you borrow an idea from someone's screen lid for a rimless tank and decide that with a wee modification it could work great for not only a rimless tank but a Betta container so they don't do a carpet surf (and still let the light in for the planted tank)!

you like that bed - it is pretty awesome! And think you might need to start collecting trendy lego sets and getting the nearby kid to put them together and stick them into a tank and make $900.

Your fish poops and you quickly bust out the net before it hits the gravel.....
