| You know you're fish crazy when....
You suffer from MTS and have been dreaming about fish for the last 2 weeks.
Tell everyone how you know you're fish crazy |

| When you're moving, can only take what you can fit in your car, and take (multiple!) aquariums and a cooler of fish, and leave the tv and the toaster oven.
Also your teeny tiny freezer has more fish food than people food | |

| When you are riding around a drill pipe manufacturing plant in a golf cart wearing a hard hat, safety goggles and metatarsal boots in 100 degree weather with forklifts, ovens and roughnecks all around you and all you can think about for two hours is which of the rocks on the ground would look good in your tank and could you surreptitiously filtch a couple without your coworkers thinking you've got your hard hat on too tight! | |

| As it turns out, I didn't see any that were so cool I would risked being seen stacking them up in the golf cart. Now if I were in Austin instead of Houston there may have been some Texas Holey rock, in which case I might have hijacked a forklift to bring it all back!
I did notice my mind wandering to fish quite a bit on the way. When were stopped at one warehouse, my two companions were discussing wiring while I studied the labels on the boxes and thought "6-inch purple BTCs? I don't know what they are, but I bet a quartet would look gorgeous in my tank!"  | |

| when you start trying to convince everyone you know to get themselves a tank... and that you can help them out with everything they need to know...
when you talk about a bigger tank and your boyfriend changes the topic as fast as he can.  | |

| Very nice, Allie!
Also - You get a new 110 gallon tank on Sunday. Your husband gets a good job offer 200 miles away on Monday. Your first concern is "I gotta move this thing again?" Your second concern is "I gotta wait until the move is complete to get another one?" | |

Or when your Mom tells you that you talk too much about fish and don't have enough other interests. | |

| When you lost the instructions to your API test kit..... Months ago.
When the cats don't even blink when they hear you banging that nitrate #2 bottle against the counter.
When you can test for Nitrates on one tank, perform a 50 gallon water change on another and watch a foreign film with subtitles all at the same time.
When you are contemplating installing a towel rack next to your tanks. In the living room.
When even your significant other starts making fishy slip-ups in everyday communication. (such as writing "fish tank" instead of "gas tank" in a company memo or "aquarium" instead of "adequate" when responding to a job offer)
When you get new tile in your house and you tell everyone you changed the substrate. | |

When no one will go out for seafood with you anymore because they really don't want to know THAT MUCH about their dinner! | |

-When you have notebooks full of sketches and stocking options for just about any size of tank you can imagine.
-When you can't understand why anyone would find that odd (oh, I know some of you were like "um...that's normal" )
Or my latest...
-When you move to a new state, and within 3 weeks the employees at every fish store in town, even the ones with fairly high turnover, recognize you on sight and either (a) ignore you because you are once again just oogling and they know you refuse to overstock your current tanks or (b) come over to point out their latest, coolest additions and talk about their private tanks.
-When you return to visit your family in your old state, you simply have to stop by your old favorite stores, and you are greeted at every door with "hey, where've you been?" by employees even you don't recognize...haha | |
