hi,my misses told me today that i have "fish tank ocd"
all cos it took nearly 2 hrs to put 2 plants in my edge,get them in the right place,sort the leaves out,move the bogwood and make sure the tank looked good.:whistle:
she might be right....:-/

tell yr missus, the fish tank is a work of art and needs time, like her when she in infront of the mirror or in the bathroom for hours to make herself pretty :lol: hope she does not take it the wrong way. My missus tells me I have the new mad fish disease. love it because fish dont talk back :lol: cheers jk :thumbup:

:lol: me too, last week I added a bn to main tank, had to re-scape and wanted a totally different look, soooo, after the 3rd re-scape try , still didn't like it, and didn't want to stress the fish any more, ( I knew they were getting pissed when one of my blue phantoms,which never comes out with lights on, came out to middle of tank and stared at me while I was half finished) so I ended up putting things mostly back to same but added another cave, and a few little changes, mostly looks same as when I started.
Hubby noticed took me about 3 hrs and said ''looks same as before ,why ya gotta spend all that time with the fish ?'' :dk: cuz I like to :woohoo:

Big up for the addicts!

 

[zeebo]

well hubby actually showed a little interest cuz he told me he was looking in the caves, said he looked for long time and saw nothing... I told him they hide ,esp when humans are ''looking for them'' ,and they can hang upsidedown in the caves ,but they ARE in there ! he still dosen't get it... :dk:

Had it been annoying you for a while? I usually have a to-do list in the back of my mind.
I must confess I have started talking to my plecos. The other day my son came down and asked who I was talking to.
I told him I was learning the words to a song on the radio. :lol:

 

[zeebo]

:lol: my dog is very jelous of the main tank, he caught me talking to the fish when I was setting it up a few yrs ago, and he absolutely ignores the tank and me when I am working on it..hey it's ok to talk to him...but he has a problem if I talk to the fish :dk: I don't do it often:whistle:

:clap: There are some great posts on here! I agree it's totally an addiction, I gaze into my tank every night writing to do lists for the weekend.... When it comes I spend hours visiting the local aquariums bringing home loads of new bits and pieces & the odd new fish Then I start the on the tanks changing and cleaning then abit more gazing.... OCD yep I think so.....
