You know you're a fishkeeper when.......

When you ship your fish 4000 miles to hawaii!!
 
When you pull the Co2 from your keggerator, for your plants!
You had to put jacks in the basement to support a tank big enough you could swim in.
your fish get fancy R/O water and you're drinkin the crap straight from the faucet.
you'd rather watch the fish instead of your TV...
customers in the LFS trust you more than the LFS employees..

You know you're a fishkeeper when you love to watch Finding Nemo several times a week & still enjoys the movie like you've first watched it. You also know where initiation of Fraternal Bonds of Tankhood is held (Mt. Wannahawkloogie) & who is called brother Sharkbait... :D

You know you're a fish keeper when you always check new posts in AC especially on DIY threads.. (I've learned a lot from this thread & sure it saved a lot of money.)

YKYAFKW... you watch Finding Nemo and wonder how the heck a Moorish Idol stays alive long enough for the tank to get cruddy.

You have an opinion on whether Rift Lake cichlids are better than Neotropical cichlids.
You know what Rift Lake cichlids are.
 
You know you're a fishkeeper when you log onto AC from work, despite having been caught on more than one occasion, just to check up on several threads you've been following.

You know you're a fishkeeper when you're cooking seafood, and you set aside a small portion for your fish before you prepare the rest to be cooked.

You know you're a fishkeeper when your fish get more square meals per day than you do. (my discus anyway)
 
You know your a good fishkeep wife when ;)...

YOU tell your fishkeeper husband that you dont have enough tanks...

YOU push him to go to one more fish store , the bank and groceries can wait.

YOU actually would like fish or tanks as an anniversary/birthday/xmas present from ur hubby :D:D

Lucky hubby!!

You know you're a fishkeeper when you ponder whether or not your future-spouse will let you go nuts with fish tanks, and weigh in open-ness to fish keeping as a potential factor for dating someone.
 
When your husband gets exasperated waiting for you to finish reading "one last post" on AC before coming to bed...almost every night of the week.

When you spend more time in the morning on your fish than on your appearance/hygiene

When your cats start hanging around the tanks just to get your attention

When you have no attention span for movies or video games because the tv and the tank are close enough together your eyes invariably wander to the fish instead, causing major lapses in the plot and game deaths...

When your camera permanently lives on the fishtank stand so EVERY cute fishy/shrimpy/snaily thing can be saved for later sharing on AC
 
... when you feel obscurely bad about fishing or eating seafood. Then you remember that many of your fish eat other fish and feel better again.
