Let's see, our house (custom) has no windows on the street side, we have no lawn, I grow bananas in the side yard (USDA zone 6), we have a kite tree in the living room, I have ~2 dozen fish tanks (but many more kites). Why would people think that we might be weird?
How many of your friends think your weird?

I think it's clear we're not weird because we keep fish. We obviously keep fish because were weird. As others have said everyone thinks I'm weird and most don't even know about the fish. One of my best friend regularly says "You're so weird", I say "Yes, we've established that already". She just smiles and shakes her head.
Friends? My family thinks I'm weird, and my coworkers too. Of course the coworkers are the ones putting puffers in betta bowls!

I've never asked if anyone thought I was weird for keeping tanks. Some of my family thought it was odd at first, but now, they all ask about how the tanks are, and everyone had their favorite occupant to ask about (my grandmother always asks about my african clawed frog, for example).
As for my co-workers--they all have their own obsessions, some much more expensive than mine, so why criticize?
But, bigger than that--why would I care if someone did think this hobby made me strange? Their life, their choice, my life, my choice.
