You're up at 4:25 a.m. and can't sleep because there is a huge weekend SALE at THATPETPLACE that starts in a few hours. :D All I can say is...thank God I own a truck.

[joanr]

It's always hard to choose which fish to order from Kenny, so many beautiful fish to opt for. I changed one of my orders three times before I finally decided...Kenny has a lot of patience. But you know you're addicted when you start removing furniture from your house to make room for tanks.....and you live in a townhome....lol.

[brewmaster15]

Joan I have always said furniture is over rated.....:) tanks are far more practical.:D:D:D

I been doing it for years. I have more of our furniture in my workshop than in our house. The wife hates it. :D

[David Rose]

I met up with Kenny/Acroken and Van/vlam at TPP and Kenny made his quota in purchasing 75G tanks...LOL. I came home with some pond supplies and no stand...guess that means I have to get in the garage and finish building my DYI project. (right after my nap)

Awesome to meet the two of them and sit to have lunch afterward!:D

[joanr]

Are you kidding me? I can't wait for my oldest daughter to move out after she graduates so I can turn her room into a fishroom. Now that's bad....

[wildthing]

fish bite marks on the credit cards
:)

[joanr]

No credit left on the cards because of the fish......

[David Rose]

And I thought I had it bad....LOL. You guys got me beat I think!

[acroken]

you buy a house because it has better water then where you are and the first thing you do before looking through any rooms is figure out where the new fish room is going and how the mechanical will work:D

[LizStreithorst]

When the price of the fish is less important than its quality.

[Bill63SG]

You buy 6 discus in December and are building a fish room in February.

[macc44]

When your spouse tells you it's either them or the fish.......and you have to think about it.

[terps]

Your local Water Company and Gas & Electric Company both name you "Customer of the Year" for the 5th straight time.

You build an indoor swimming pool just to hold your R.O. water.

Al Gore sites your fish room as the biggest contributor to global warming.

While having sex, all you can think about is your Leopard Snakeskins spawning.

[wendy9722]

You know you are addicted to discus when everywhere you look in your home is nothing but fish tanks

[macc44]

When you start searching your car seats and couch for change to buy blood worms.

[fishorama]

You wait to do water changing until dinner time to get some spousal help or goodness knows when the food might be ready or how "tired " you might be later ;):bandana::D

Used to be I received birthday, Valentines day or other holiday loaches but with discus the price has gone way up...new tanks, & maybe a new house in California...thank goodness the Co is paying for "pet relocation", & as a bonus I'll be near Kenny, it's major incentive...Wine & discus, what could be more motivating?

[Jennie]

Priceless! Lmao!:)

1. You spend half of your bonus check on fish and supplies.
2. You consider how you can better utilize the space in your living room for another tank.
3. You start using your wife's good crystal to help with water changes.
4. You spend way too much time on this web-site.
5. You can't sleep because you are constantly thinking about how you can make your water changes more efficient.
6. Your favorite cologne is Seachem Prime.

You guys are a riot, so I know there are some funny ones that can be added to this list...

[musicmarn1]

For me: you know your addicted to discus when

You ask for your Christmas gift in August to buy new fish
You take over your husbands tool shed so you can make filtration systems
You teach said husband emergency fish protocols for power outs
You make tormented husband sleep on couch for failing to respond to emergency power out
You tell your guest helping make dinner to get the edam out of the fridge "the one above the worm box"
You arrange all your furniture to view the tanks and move tv out
Your in bed at night, husband watching tv now in bedroom, your watching only tanks
Your 2.75 yr old tells the neighbour mommy got new discs fish, can't come to our home, they won't like you yet.....

[SMB2]

When:
You get excited about going to Sur La Table with your wife (sorry, sig. other) to look at new food processors.

OMG - Too funny! You are like fish tank prepper!! I bet I will see you on that preppers show soon! That's also funny because I've been catching myself thinking a lot about power outages lately. Good to see you have your family and guest properly trained too!

I love the ones about the spouses too!

Sorry! Didn't see that other thread. Hilarious though. If you have a way to move our comments to that one, it's fine with me. :)

7. When you build a fish house.

-john

[GeauxDiscus]

Okay, now you have to share the pic of the fish house.

[DLock3d]

Or you could just go visit him at the next event. John and his wife are happy to have strangers in their house. He has enough guns to defend it. (I've never actually seen any of his guns when there, I'm assuming they're under lock and key.)

[yim11]

I've seen them, he can get to them quickly I assure you lol.

[musicmarn1]

Then I'm officially adding:

8. When you have guns to defend said fish house

[mastermamo]

You begin talking to them about your day at work haha


Sometimes the best ideas are simpler than you think...

[GeauxDiscus]

I thought I was the only one who had conversations with my fish! (Thank goodness I'm not alone.) It's when they answer you back that you're in trouble...

[pastry]

When you've had a couple cocktails on a Friday night and write "discus poetry" on Kenny's forum about his sexy hands (which turned out to be Forrest's hands) :P

[Madaboutdiscus]

When "poop" has become a major concern in your life.

When the price of the fish is less important than its quality.

...when you finally can relate to that statement above.

...when you measure the cost of buying something by the opportunity cost of buying Discus. (My wife bough new high chairs for our twins and I was thinking --- that's like 2 adult Discus from a SD sponsor!)

[Skip]

... (My wife bough new high chairs for our twins and I was thinking --- that's like 2 adult Discus from a SD sponsor!)

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!! lol

[Second Hand Pat]

When you leave from 10 days and the up most thing on your mind is prepping the fish and hoping the house sitter does not do something dumb even through the only thing they need to do is maintain the water levels in the tanks/sumps :(

...and this is when you have not seen your kid in 10 months. :(:(

[DiscusLoverJeff]

When you hope Forrest & Kenny are having a Black Friday sale and you are camped out in Kenny's back yard.

You know you are addicted when you win an all expenses paid 10 day holiday, and you don't go cause you will miss your fish too much.
When you plan to give each family member a discus (which you will look after), instead of gifts for Christmas.
When you refuse to move out of your bad neighborhood cause it has great discus water.

[warblad79]

You know you're addicted to Discus, if you move right next to Kenny's House and keep checking his garage.

[dragon1974]

You know you're addicted to Discus, when you sell 3 tanks 125-135-150 gal within a month just to buy a 220 gal + 140 gal sump to have better water quality and volume.

[Discusdude7]

When you are vegetarian but you have beefheart mix in the freezer.

A big storm knocks your power out ... And the discus tanks are hooked up to the generator, before anything else in the house.

Power is back and all seem well. :)
