Wellp, alot significant others will be jealous of how much time we spend with, and how much we love our fish lol. but really, whatever makes u happy, thats what life is all about, its too short to spend it not being happy. I know how happy this hobby makes all of us, and thats a genuinely awesome thing. Most of my friends give me a hard time about how much I love my fish, but who cares what they think, I think their fools for not having a hobby haha. Its a positive characteristic in my mind, to be able to make urself happy with a hobby, or several , and not have to rely on others all the time for that. (cept the fish ) ...just my two pennies
