17. You flood your basement to create a house sized coral Reef.
You flood you basement on purpose!!! I do it by accident a least once a month. :duh:
 
where we used to live after a storm we had about a foot of water in the basement..not fun
 
Not sure the number you are at but

When you finally break down and buy that expensive fish you want....then don't tell your hubby/wife. Then when they finally notice you can say "OH...that fish has been there for a LONG time"

When you only pay your LFS in cash and hide the reciepts from your significant other.
 
42. when you are deep in dreamland -- the setting is a romantic interlude in a beautiful mountain meadow. Birds singing, bright flowers, tall grass waving in the breeze. You look over to your date and you realize that something is not quite right. Their mouth changes. Their body changes. You suddenly realize that they are nothing but a . . .
GIGANTIC COMMON PLECO!​
You run, screaming in terror afraid they will catch you and suck out your life force. They swim after you through the grass . . . no, not grass, ALGAE! The sea of grass has turned into algae and they are swimming, swimming after you through the brown staghorn and hair algae now there are two plecos huge gigantic 6 foot each and they are gaining on you up ahead is a large lake and you think if you can just get to the lake you will be safe but the lake is green glass and as you try to climb up you slide down into the filter and all the micro bacteria scream at you to leave them be and everything is melting into the driftwood and. . .

You wake up and run to your tank to reassure yourself that everything is fine.

Whew!

A lot of those sound more like you're irresponsible and sick in the head, rather than addicted to the hobby. ;)

I would say:

13. You visit your LFS often "just to look"

14. You're a member of more than one online forum about tropical fish etc..

15. You've got MTS.....and no snails.

16. You can make jokes that only users of above mentioned forums would understand.

EDIT: Fixed the numbers

13. Yep

14. um... 4 or 5, i'd have to count.

15. Ain't that the truth... and i have snails too :duh:

24. Your computer History for the last 2 months, contains only Fish/Fish Forum Sites.

25. Forget the New X-box, The New Clothes, The new I-Pod, Just give me a New Tank for Christmas.

26. Your Coworker/Friend says they saw a new Tie they thought you would like, do you want it for Christmas? You answer: No, I would rather have a New rainbow Fish! (It should be said that I Collect Jerry Garcis Ties)

24. Sadly enough.

25. You forgot nice light fixtures and substrate for the new planted tank!

26. Try a dozen.

O NO!!! ALGAE!! MUST CLEAN, MUST KILL ALGAE!!!

43. The most expensive thing you own is your fish tank, decked out with all the latest lights, filters, plants, substrate, pressurized CO2, and of course fish.

27. You yelled at your younger sister for giving birth to her first child on the SAME NIGHT as your Cichlid Club meeting.... forcing you to skip.....
Wow, A!!!!I knew you had it bad, but skipping out on your sister's first childbirth for a fish meeting? That just takes the cake.

what number are we on?
1,000,657. You buy a fish that you KNOW will outgrow your tank to justify getting a bigger tank tomorrow.
1,000,658. You forget what number 1,000,658 was going to be cuz you looked over at your tank(no really, my roomate just sat in front of my 55 and I just had to join her!)
 
3.14etc you cut utilities so the county will dig out the pond of your dreams
 
#?.1) You have to hide tanks under the bed and/or in your closet b/c in the school only allows a maximum of 20 gallons

#?.2) You fill up your boyfriends room with tanks just to get around the 20 gallon max rule!!!! :dance:
