you know you have MTS if you have tanks in the kitchen, in your bedroom, at a friends house, in your car, in your garage, in a friends garage, and STILL get excited over good deals on craigslist. | You had a roommate sharing a room with you and your 8 tanks?  Holy cow she must have had a lot of patience! I can see her now, calling home: "Mom, why couldn't I have gotten a normal roommate?" Your dorm room must have been pretty big...mine was like the size of a closet and I would have been lucky to fit a betta tank on the desk, lol. | |

| agabr123...Craigslist is gonna be the death of me. My hubby, Mr. Fixit loves to work on tanks and comes home with them all the time so of course I have to fill them with fish. And everybody on here has just added to my obsession....I see the pretty ones so and so has and I gotta have one of those.
You know you have MTS if you have a real hard time getting your work done because you cannot stay off of FishLore long enough to type your jobs (medical transcriptionist). | |

| Not yet.
When I spoke to them on the phone they said "Its about 50-64 Gallons, but my brother says its over 100...its really huge!!!"
I arrive there and clearly its about 35gallons...oh well, bought it anyways. $40 for tank/hood/stand.
Took a god awful lot of cleaning the hard water stains and removing the neon pink gravel, but its looking darn good now! | |

Not only do I have MTS, but its contagious!
After setting up my new tank in the office, my officemate sent me an email saying they just picked up a 45gal on Freecycle that they are going to put in the office as well! | |

| Alright, MTS is contagious.
My dad, who really really dislikes having pets of any kind, now really wants another aquarium. And let me tell you, after that it'll be another and another and another... I guess fish don't poo on the carpet or scratch the furniture or bark and the doorbell even if the doorbell is on TV. And I guess the best part of it for him is that I do all the work. But I think that if he got his own fish, he'd be taking good care of it.
And my dad even helps me with my fish. He doesn't know how much to feed them or how much water to change out and he thinks he might do something wrong and end up killing them, but he helps me pay for the fish and stuff that I get. And when I sleep in late, he wakes me up if there's ever a problem. It's pretty cool, 'cause he's always teasing the cats and my dog but he loves my fish. Even my corydoras, which aren't exactly the tough fish that I thought he'd like.  | |
