Mr. Ed's Aquatics Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 This happens to me quite a bit and it always makes me chuckle. I just had another one and figured I'd share.

RovingGinger Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 “If you’re on the beta test of a community fish forum based on a YouTube fish channel subscription, you might be a fish nerd.” I need friends like you have! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 If the plumbing system for your home is designed to give your fish the high quality water and the water for you and your family is 'meh' at best, you might be a fish nerd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcalberto Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 If you live in a flat and uses half the porch to grow daphnia, because you want live foods and don't trust the quality of the live foods in the fish store, you might be a fish nerd 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One our biggest misconceptions in fishkeeping is 'Post hoc ergo propter hoc' ☺️.

The wife every time "how many tanks would fit in that?" She's a keeper lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Maybe not so much being a 'fish nerd', but you might have a 'fish problem' when you have the following conversation with your 6 year old child (whose daily morning job is to help you change the water on 300 betta jars). Son (bursting into tears), "Dad, I wish I had two broken legs! Me, "Oh no! Why?" Son, "So I didn't have to change the bettas jars every morning!" He's 26 years old now, and we both laugh about it. And I think he has even forgiven me for the time we forgot his birthday because we were at the 2001 International Betta Congress convention in New Orleans and stopped on the way home for an impromptu birthday meal at a sketchy Mexican restaurant in southern Alabama where he got food poisoning and threw up for the rest of drive back to North Carolina. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
