Nyxis Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I know fish keeping is addicting but how many tanks can a person have before they cross that line from being a person with a hobby to a person with an obsession. Is one aquarium in every room too much? How about one room devoted just to aquariums? Have you crossed the line when you need to worry about excess humidity?

FishyFishy! Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) I think a tank in every room (like my house) is borderline rediculous. Anything after one tank per room and you're getting into the obsession type stuff... oh wait... 3 of my rooms have more than one tank.... OH NOOO... :chair: Edited May 21, 2010 by FishyFishy!

Wingin' It Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 HAHAHAHA...well 3 is an odd number for sure! But I think what one person's definition of odd...is another person's idea of awesome! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagani Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I think it's when you start talking about it to people who don't care or have any interest in fish keeping. If you have lots of tanks no one needs to know who they belong to lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) I think it's when you start talking about it to people who don't care or have any interest in fish keeping. -roll- So true. I do that all the time and i get the weirdest looks. It became odd at my house when I got my 2nd 29 gallon. No one else in my family or any of my friends understand why I enjoy fish so much. Now I have a 180, 80, 55 and everyone wants to send me to an asylum. Edited May 22, 2010 by Jaykit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLake Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I agree I have 7 or so with a new one built waiting for pickup. All of my friends find it very strange. I find it amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppygirl Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I once had three ten gallon tanks in my bedroom which was 12 by 12 with a bed, desk, clothes and lots of books. I then bought a house and now I have nine tanks, most of the rooms have more than one tank. My brother thinks I am strange, but I have now gotten him involved in the auction bidding. The more the merrier. He has given up on me the only request he has now is that I don't overwhelm the upstairs flooring and drown him in the basement which is his half of the house. My best friend can't understand why I have to visit pet stores in Edmonton when I come for a visit. I like looking at fish. It is relaxing and maybe she should try it. Sometimes the line between hobby and work is thin but as long as you are having fun it is good. I may be a little odd as I sometimes catch myself talking to my fish but hey they are alive and better then talking to a rock. -roll- -roll- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybrid Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 how about when your fish room passes the 1000gallon mark!!! anything less is just a hobbby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 You are getting close to crossing the line when you have a fish room full of tanks, plus the second fish room to hold all the stuff you don't use any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandi Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Most people just don't get it! I love the hobby, after raising many different animals I have come to appreciate fish more than any because they are so quiet. People don't understand when I say raising fish is much nicer than raising baby lions. But in my case, I think we have crossed the line into insanity because people now come over and say we should open our house up and charge admission to see our aquarium in the prairies. 22 tanks up and running and still growing!!!
