Ok,
so I just counted and after this weekend, I will have 7 tanks going, 6 of which are good sized tanks.
So here's my question:
At what point do you admit that you need help and seek couseling?
This weekend... I am converting my 5 gal. SW tank to a 10 gal., doing all my WC's and getting the bettas set up in the 20 gal. in a 5 gal. section to start making babies.

I have 2 tanks in the living room(55[cichlids] and 10[bettas]), 2 in my bedroom(20 [angels] and soon to be 10-currently a 5[salt]), 1 in the office (2 gal. [salt]), 1 tank on the back porch (20 gal. divided betta breeder ), and 1 at my work (1 gal. betta bowl).

Furthermore, who do you see for this problem? The peer couseling doesn't work, bc other fish people always tell you to get another tank.
It's like going to a frat house for advice on quitting drinking.

Sooooo, when do you need help??
:T

:OO You only have a problem when you can not move around your house because there are fish tanks in the way. Besides that nothing is wrong. ^_^

Well.. no..
When you see that thread of TFF, and start to think, hmm... Maybe IO CAN put bettas in the toilet, and THEN you see the toilet tank they were selling on EBay, and think, that is a AWESOME idea, and you atrt to calculate how many fish you can put in it.
When you move the living room sofa out, to make more room for tank.
When you start looking at the entertainment center, and thinking about how many tanks, bowls and beanies you can fit on it if you got rid of the TV, DVD, and stereo.
This things start happening, you have to many.
Until then..
Get another tank!!

Clear inflatable furniture make great tanks!

Actualy one of the coolest things i have seen are the cofee tables that are fish tanks!! :blink:

I know! Those are pretty neat! :hawaiibanana

I can't have one... I'd break it.... In like 3 seconds!

And this, people is what is known in the addicts world, as enabling.

Enable me away, cause I am loving this addiction.

See I want a 380 gallon aquarium bar! The fish can swim around the bottles, lol.

Now ECB, there is a goal.
When do you start the build?
The day you add the fish.... you'll have to have a partie.
But, you'd better use thick enough glass as not to have to worry about a partie.
I'd prolly use acrylic though.

LaBella=Enabler.

I am not addicted to fish, I am not addicted to fish I am not... well I could always get just 1 more tank? Right? :wub:

Of course you can..
And as I was told at the convention..
They are bettas, you can put them in anything that holds water..So warn your guests not to drink out of the cups.

Woot! I'm lovin' this addiction! :Y May I never be cured! :T

My parents are convinced that they made a mistake by getting me an aquarium for my 8th birthday! :LOL: My dad's always complaining about having bettas in the kitchen. :rolleyes: But I've caught him talking to them in funny voices when he think no one's listening. :coverlaugh

LMAO isn't that always the way.

Addiction is when you have to move fish to get to the bed to get to sleep. Addiction is when you have 5 dollars and you choose fish food over your dinner.
Addiction is when you forget to call your significant other back because you are playing with the 3 week old fry.

Viva le addcition!!!

3 week old fry are SSSOOOO much FUN to play with..
But it gets better hen they get older, and they play between your fingers.

Addiction is when you stopped to watch your new tank of girlies make ugly faces at each other, and then look at the clock, and an hour has past.

Addiction is saying, hmmm.... I can move the girls into MY room, which I don't use, and make THEIR room into my fish room..
All I need is closet space.

Addiction is watching pimp my ride, and seeing the one where they put a fish tank in the car and getting GREEN with envy, because the goldfish they had in the tank certainly did not deserve to go on road trips, and nor did the person who got the tank in their car deserve it... they have absolutly NO appreciation for the potential of such a thing.

I am off now, to go play with my fishies.

:OO You guys crack me up!

See, and al I could think was..
Some silicone sealant would fix thank...

You might need help when:
1. You have to choose between your car payment and frozen food for your fish.
2. You switched to a twin sized bed so that you had room for another tank.
3. Your significant other said "it's me or the fish", so you're single.
4. You give up your only night out for months with the girls/guys... because you have to do WC's.
5. You can't remember the last time you didn't have dirty fish water on your hands/ arms.

OK...
Sooo...
You obviously need help when you don't have a problem with the above post.

Bella,
I think you might need to join Tankaholics Anonymous

Don't know about you, but I think we'd all have a blast there! We should start one up!

Wait a minute. When you say 'Tankaholics Anonymous' does that mean we can't buy anymore tanks? Cause I was thinking it was that we got to keep it a secret between us that we got another one.

Rednecks got duct tape, we got silicone sealant!

Addiction is when you join tankaholics annonymous just to buy everyone elses tanks for cheap! :OO

:coverlaugh Well, then what am I?? I have both... Duct tape and Silicone sealant..

That means your tank is rated for *200* miles an hour! :WOU

See, he saw the pimp my ride episode too!!!

:OO Well, either that or he knows duct tape is called 200 mile per hour tape because they use it in Nascar.

Are you kidding me? They make colored duct tape that matches my car, so when a deer attacked my car (yes he ran in front of my car and took a defensive pose) all I had to do was get some bright red duct tape and fix the nose of my car!

Redneck engineering baby! :Y
