“What kind of fish is that?”

”You just picked these up at PetSMart?” *points to rare fish* (you know the one you stalked on the internet for weeks, checked stock, visited every store around hunting for)

”Why are there so many kinds of fish foods?”

"You've had that fish for how long?"

"Is there something wrong with that one?" 

"Is that one stuck?"

"Is that one dead?"

Person: "Whats that fish?"

Me: "A swordtail."

Person: *points at female swordtail* "and whats that fish?" 

Me: "another swordtail."

Person: "but where's its sword?"

Female swordtail: 😢

 

Jokie jokes aside, it's is usually positive, like "I've never seen a tank with such clear water," or "I can't believe it doesn't smell."

It’s always the ones who have an expensive hobby/ pastime of their own: motorcycles, antique cars, rare coin collection, ect…

Them ” how much did all this cost?”

Me ”a lot”

Them “I don’t understand how you could spend that much on a fish”

🙄🫤

Friend sees aquariums for the first time …

”You really need to get out more and socialize”

Me:  I’m not a people person

Friend: Then take a vacation instead of spending so much on this stuff. 
 

me: I don’t want to go on vacation. I would miss my fish.

friend: I could hang out with you more. Give you someone to talk to. 
 

me: Nah.  I’m good.  I talk to Nerms all the time.

Friend never visit’s anymore.  Can’t put my finger on it but they were looking at me oddly when they left…🤣
 

ah geez that’s not a family fued style answer. 🤣 just what popped into my head. So real answer

 

you should get out more.

"Freshwater aren't as colorful as saltwater, you should have gotten saltwater fish."

 

why do you only take care of a house cat when you could be taking care of a big cat.

seriously though I wouldn't recommend saltwater to anyone it is so much work and it can be very finicky.

"you have how many fish tanks now?"

I do get a lot of "wow" and "that's not salt water?" for my 75. But mostly I get the usual "oh you have fish, cool" Then they turn and see the shrimp sanctuary and EVERYONE.... says "why is the water so cloudy?" Haha.

(Looking at a growout tank full of fry) "When are you gonna put some fish in here?"

(As a coworker's dog is chewing on beef pizzle) "What's that smell? Is it the fish tank?"

"Is that as big as they're gonna get?"

"You should put a goldfish in there!"

They're really subtle, and don't look like much at the store, but in the right light they're so brilliant! I never would have bought them before but I was given some and now I'm hooked. Plus they rival corys in their playfulness and activity level.

That one's pretty legit tbh.  I'm even still shocked they don't smell haha.

I don't think I'll ever dive into the saltwater world. Enough color in fresh for me and it sounds like a lot more layers I'm not willing to work with. I would say having corals is appealing tho. Maybe someday I'll set up a freshwater tank with fake corals
