No more lifting heavy buckets. :)

And YKYAFK when your principal at school asks to speak with you in the middle of class and it turns out it is because he has heard that you keep aquariums and wants to know why his fish keep dieing (the tank is now doing well btw :D).

lol you should have asked him for a "get out of detention free" card or somethin :D

YLYAFK when the first thing you think of when you get a big asignment is "how will this afrect my fishkeeping scedual" or "darn, i was planning a WC tonight. Oh well, the homework will have to wait"
 
.....if you hear a grinding noise in the middle of the night you hop of bed and blindly stumble over to your tanks as quick as possible to see if something is wrong in your tanks.

.....when the highlight of your day is, "my fish are showing breeding behaviors today!!!"

.....when you compare the price of a car to how many Petrochromis "bulu point" you can buy.

.....when you see some sort of bright light and think "gee that would look good in the hood of my tank!

.....when search your household for things that could be used to carry and move water.

.....when you hang your WC tube out the second story window to clean your tank, your parents on the floor below hear the water splashing and wonder how its raining when the weather called for a dry day.
 
my gf said no I'm not going to walk on the beach with you because you're going to look for driftwood lol so yeah I'm an addict

I prefer the term "hobbiest"
 
when a simple trip to the supermarket turnes into a a trip the the fish store because you just wanna see what they have.

when your fish get more WCs then your rabbit.

When you have tried to use a plant pot to move water because you couldn't find anything better.

When you get bored with something and go to see how your fish are doing.

When you have the urge to clean and remodel your fishtank ever time you see it.
 
You know you're a fishkeeper when
You worry about leaving the house in bad weather in case there's a power outtage. And after dealing with just one, your better half runs out and gets a generator.
You check out the black sponges in shipping packages and wonder if they'd work for prefilters.
You see your fish has a piece of plant jammed in its throat and somehow you know just what to do to remove it. Then you watch his recovery closely for days.
You've just spent an hour reading these threads with your sides bursting from laughter because you can relate! Too good.
