    ... you need a gas-mask, industrial strength rubber gloves, and frequent barf-breaks to change your kid's nappy, but you don't think twice about plunging your bare hands into fish poop to clean out your tank filters.

    when you get new tanks to put in other peoples houses cause you run out of space in your own house, and then still go there to look after it and work on it

    When you drive 450km to Tzaneen to spend Eid with your grand-daughter everybody knows you only came up so you could pick up fish from your buddy in Polokwane!

    When you think, I should get a weekend job to fund more tanks, and the job you have in mind is to work @ a pet shop!
