How Do Your Partners Feel

[markandhisfish]

well thought i would ask this as personally my missus love to look at the tank and admire it but hates it when im always changing things about looking at new fish talking the back legs off a donkey about fish etc. she says it does her head in but then its her fault for buying me a new tank lol so do your partners get involved / moan about it/ love/hate it etc .

She knew I loved aquariums and had one when I was little. She knew I'd always talk about getting one when we went to the pet store. Finally she agreed to let me get one last Father's Day.

She's regretted not just getting me a betta every day since.

She's come to terms with the tank and realizes I treat my fish the way she treats the cat. So long as I don't go nuts spending money on the tank she tolerates it.

my/ our 1st tank was origionally bought by me for her. but i really got into it and kinda took over. she just likes to look at them but ive really got into it in a big way. and now she has bought me a 100g tank as early crimbo pressie ( bless her ) im super obsessed. i think she gets bored of hearig about i want this fish or that plant etc but she made a rod for her own back
