    "Well TASA is your support group and will help you cope :)" @disco

    i think all TASA has done for me is feed the addiction because what i have compared to the other users just makes me want to spend more money and time into this hobby

    and theres the girlfriend always hinting at when shes getting a ring and im about to redo my whole tank for frontosa.....luckily she said shes excited to see my new tank setup so i think i dodged the bullet this time :thefinger::flowers:

    i dont however get off too lightly when im "just going to sams quickly" and im gone for atleast an hour or 2 just looking at all the fish or chatting to some random fish keeper :bigsmile:

    When your other half says to you, "Don't you think you have enough tanks now? You can't get another tank surely!" :laugh:
    And, "No, I don't think you can go marine!" :smiley-laughing024:

    When your spouse complain you spend more time with the fish but she buys you a R13 000 set up including fish and you know you need a car more.

    Nice wife you have!

    ...When you start mentally planning your tanks about 3 tanks into the future. You're still setting one up, but you know what you want to do with the next one - and the one after that!

    While I was showering I found a blood worm on my shoulder... some things you can only explain when you're a fishkeeper.
