Yeah, puffers are very personable. Or seem that way at least, I think they just want to be fed all the time. He was definitely my favorite fish.
How many of your friends think your weird?

No one thinks anything other than it's my hobby and keeps me busy. They don't freak out until they learn all the hobbies I learned.
Some of the things I do:
Maintain and breed fish
Knit (items are donated to the Veterans Hospital)
Crochet (hats and blankets for preemies)
basic sewing
Volunteer at the Senior Centers
Volunteer at hospitals to talk with fellow stroke survivors and care-givers
and many more . . .
Weird? Yeah, I guess so.
It's not weird until you know that I am male, retired military, stroke survivor.

my friends love my tank... We can all stare at it for hours...
however, they think I'm weird when i tell them I've been frequenting and helping mod a fish site for over 10 years.
not like it bothers me.

Yeah I am a 20-year-old college student and I got like crazy addicted to tanks and fish. I have been buying and selling fish and tanks rearranging and currently have decided to keep some of the tanks I bought to resell to setup for babies from the new breeders I am ordering. So once that is said and done I have will have (4) 55 gallons, (1) 36, (1) 20, 3 (10), (5), and a 1.5 gallon. My only issue is the biggest I have ever had is a 65 gallon acrylic, but I sold it to get a double stand and two 55 gallons. Would love to try 100 plus gallons, but will have to wait, maybe if this breeding goes well I will consider trading, up just don't/can't afford that sort of money into a tank right now. But yeah, my parents think I am nuts!
I don't have friends. I have fish, cats, dogs and a bird. Who needs people?? Well, other than my spouse. haha
Unique...really, awesome that you are willing to help out and not conform to unfair standards! Thanks for fighting for this country and protecting our rights and freedoms!
Right on, I have fish and too cats that love me, but hate each other. Who needs more drama than that, hehe.
I know people think I'm weird but I doubt because I keep fish. It could be that my gf and I own a dog, cat, ferret and fish but I doubt that either. Who ever comes over LOVES one or more of the animals. I never really mention my fish outside of my home so I think it becomes a nice surprise for new visitors. It could be in combination that I'm obsessed with my 97 Trans Am and my girlfriends 01 Grand Prix GTP. I have a love / hate relationship with video games and cuss and yell at them a whole lot. I'm a graphic design student at WMU, art students are normally weird. I drink a lot of beer, I love beer. I kind of have a sick since of humor. I still collect comics at 24. Who knows really?
art students are often weird... my little brother is an art student, and he is one odd kid.
i've never had anyone think i'm weird for keeping fish.. no matter how expensive it gets..
but many people think its weird that a pretty normal female would keep snakes and lizards. which was much more expensive to the extent that i took the hobby. keeping herps has been a passion of mine for as long as i can remember... and most people just don't get it. and thats fine.
but don't call me crazy....

Most of my friends don't seem to think I am weird for keeping aquariums, in fact they think it is pretty cool.
But there are people who I don't consider friends (for different reasons) who do think I am weird for being so interested in fish/other aquatic life.
