You know your addicted when...

Your out of town for work for 3-4 months and you miss your tanks so much you buy another tank and stuff it in your hotel lol

  What did the hotel ppl say about it?

I know better than to ask. Do not disturb sign on the door so no nosy house keepers

Wow, lol!

We do the same thing but with cats.. Every time we go on vacation some stray cat or dog will adopt us for the week, now we buy kitty treats as soon as we get there.

haha Oh man! I thought I had the bug bad! Show us a picture of your travel tank and it inhabitants!

I'll second that request for travel tank pictures I can't imagine what I'd do without seeing my fish tanks all the time! Did you find someone to take care of your tanks while you're away? Or are you looking forward to coming back to do some major re-start of your tanks?

How big of a tank did you do?

Wife thinks i have a problem... I denied EVERYTHING!

A fish tank and an xbox... all you need  

.oO what pet?


LOL!

Present your addiction to your wife in these terms....

Research shows that at least 90% of all Americans have some form of "soft" addiction....as things go being addicted to "fishkeeping" might be better than some other things like gambling or playing video games or shopping all the time.

You have my vote. Now to corner the market...I need to make a product called the "Tote-a-ble Tank" just for people with your such addiction...LOL

I've always been told it's better to be tinkering with my tanks than going to strip clubs or bars and getting in fights.

hahaha, whenever my wife says anything about my aquarium hobby I always retort with a comment about spending 100x more on sports cars, street bikes, and inappropriate things...

She sulks, but knows I'm not kidding.

Haha, I want to go to wetspot and my boyfriend is not interested in fish at all. He said "okay if I can go to acropolis." He figured I'd say no. My reply was "okay, drop me off at wetspot and you go to acropolis for about 2 hours and then come back and pick me up!" lol. There are definitely worse things for us to be spending out money on!!

Plus we already have the quads, street bikes, I have a sports car he has a truck he's rebuilding/repainting. He doesn't like it but figured I have to have a hobby too. So mine are fish and chickens

LOL that's awesome!!!!!!!!

Whats worse then spending money on strippers? Paying to look when for far less you can touch. I have the feeling your bf is going to blow $200 and you will spend maybe $50

lol That's his money to spend. He pays mortgage I pay utilities and the rest we spend however we want to. He says it's for the hamburgers and last time him and his buddy went they both were disgusted with the girls I guess. He said he won't go to acropolis if it's just him by himself. And I won't go. Not my kind of thing. He likes to take one of his buddies with him but absolutely refuses to go by himself. He's only been twice, that I know of. lol
