Do you ever say something totally “nermal” that makes your spouse/family burst out laughing? This evening my husband helped me lift the 55 gallon fish tank on top of the new stand we’d made. Him: ”Oh, it’s got a lot of extra room up here.” Me: “Yeah, cause I designed it to hold a 75.” Him: 🤣 Me: 🤨 Also last week, when I told him, I was going to need to drive a couple towns over. ”Petco’s having a 50% off sale so I bought three more 10 gallon tanks.” 🤣 “What?? You knew I needed another 10 gallon for the stand. And I got two extra.” He loves to tell people about how fish are “taking over our house.” I love to tell him about my fellow nerms who see the Petco sale and buy 3 more 55’s. I guess he keeps my feet on the ground. -
Younger aquarist think once you have money, and drivers license and you don't have to share a room with your brother all your problems are solved. They are not. They just get more complicated. I kept telling myself dollar a gallon...who cares...I need to take care of the tanks I have, not buy more. I kept telling myself, the spouse is calm about my ever metastasizing hobby, just be cool, be patient, and definitely no more aquariums. Hat tip to @MickS77 for the meme What if the dollar a gallon sale never ever happens again? Maybe, just maybe I could confuse her by being honest! She didn't approve, but she didn't say no. So I got two 75 gallons (not one like I mentioned and maybe not 1/3 of normal price). Now I felt embarrassed so I stashed them in the woodworking shop. Problem is these days she is out in the shop all the time working on beehives. So... Problem solved, right? Now I just I have to figure out how to tell her.... -
Im alone in the house for the first time in months and all I'm doing is putting Coop youtube in the background and doing fish stuff...and it's a Friday night. -
As a new nerm, myself, I find myself saying and thinking the silliest things: My betta sometimes flares at his reflection. Is this normal? Oh no! My ghost shrimp Bartholomew died! What did I do wrong? Free duckweed? Wow! Thanks! Is a Penn-Plax 17" cannister filter enough for my 10g shrimp tank? Is a 75g enough room for 10 neon tetras? I should google ramshorn snail breeding tips. -
Homeschooling this year . . . COVID and whatnot . . . doing Euclidean Geometry. Here's to anyone interested in watching a fish nerd "Nermsplaining Math" 🤓 -
Was feeding my King Tigers tonight and decided to watch them for a bit. Then I noticed something I hadn’t before. Haven’t adjusted/photoshopped or otherwise edited this photo of my l333 other than to trace the lettering in the second picture. What in the world. 🧐 Am I crazy? -
I had 77 open tabs on my phone 52 where this forum. Everytime I want to go to the forum I hit the shortcut I saved rather than just opening chrome. #nermproblems
