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

when you consider it a turn on if your "other" buys you something for your fish tank or exhibits knowledge of fish.....lol
 
and weigh in open-ness to fish keeping as a potential factor for dating someone.


Just weigh it in? You mean it's not a total dealbreaker?


You know you're a fishkeeper when your attitude is "if you don't like my fish, I don't like you"

Depends on how they react to the idea. :p: If they're not interested at all, they're up spit creek without a paddle. If they're ok with it but don't really care, well, they still don't deserve a concerted effort, but might be worth considering if they'll at least keep you company while you clean your tanks. If they're interested, and better yet want a fish tank of their own... then you know they might be worth considering. :)


YKYAFKW - You are late to work (on more than one occasion) because you just HAD to take a "quick" peek at what was going on with AC. :p:
 
You know your a fish keeper when you contemplate knocking out a wall in between your kitchen and living room to build a tank, and hire a contractor to qoute you on reinforcing the flooring.(still contemplating LOL)

or when u spend 10x more time on reading about fish than studying for college

You know you're a fish keeper when the LFS employees know you by name and smile at you every time you're there because they know you can't leave empty handed. (Everytime I go I buy something, even if it is a piec of wood)

When your room's a mess, but you still manage to do weekly water changes and feed the fish.

When you don't trust ANYONE with the can of fish food.

When you watch Finding Nemo and wonder how is it that an empty filter with no media filters anything and how do the fish stay alive when it's all cruddy.
 
... when you go to lie down with a bad headache, then promptly spend the next half-hour measuring your room to figure out how to rearrange the furniture so that next time you lie down with a bad headache you'll be facing an aquarium.

and when the thought of being able to watch your guppy fry and cherry shrimp next time you have a headache actually works better than painkillers.
 
you know you're a fishkeeper when part of the requirement for your workjob is to be located around the corner from your favorite lfs, lol.

also, you know your friend is a fishkeeper when they have a bottle of Prime on their bathroom shelf.
 
...when you have already planned out and designed on paper more than 3 tanks before you even have the room to put them...
 
if you have ever farted and blamed it on Prime..

Oh my, so that is what that smell is. I keep my Prime in the bathroom, because I dump it in the water change bucket. I kept thinking "wow, this litter box smells nasty. I need to change it."

:rofl::laugh:
