whenever they get all excited about plants? I'm constantly sneaking in with new plants, even if it's just some cheap bunched plants for the axolotls that I know will get destroyed - a wee shame for the plants but nice to enrich their aquarium with. Also get all excited just buying Egeria for the goldfish to munch on for a bit of enrichment/decorate their tank with. I don't think they get it.. :lol::lol:

Mine often tells me she doesn’t understand my obsession. But she does often comment on how beautiful and natural she thinks it looks but in general she thinks it’s boring. I just don’t tell her when I’m Changing things about until after I’ve done them. Another rule I have is never tell her how much I spend each month on it :D keeps us both happy that way :D
 
I don't get weird looks... just the "I'm full of this aquarium sh*t" sigh... and the occasional "You're always in the fish room!" & the "NO MORE AQUARIUMS!!!"

Then when someone comes over to visit, she proudly shows the aquariums around like they're the best looking piece of art in the world! :lol:
 
I guess, the way i look back at people giving me a weird look because they do not understanding my obsesion with nature is much weirder..
 
I've been keeping fish for three years now and I've decided 'fish nerd' is a deal breaking quality in a future partner. :lol:
 
Me! My wife loves the tank, I catch her staring at it, she loves how the kids interact with it and help feed the fish too. But when I get excited about a new piece of tech/fish/plant whatever, I get the look!

Me too, here's my latest acquisition 'Bucephalandra Red' looks really nice. Also useful if you want some peace, just talk about them in great detail & you will find they get the point (unless they also have a tank). Either way everyone's a winner. :lol:
