When you have 3 papers to write, some tests to study for, and you're late for work...yet you're posting on a fish forum...
When you go out of state to purposely look at the fish stores there...
When you call friends to check up their sick bettas...
When you are carrying on a full conversation with something that only answers with glub glub FLARE glub glub...
When you are hungrier than you've ever been, but you REALLY need bloodworms...
When you're excited about something, you attempt the happy fishy dance!

When you sit and wonder all day what different kinds of matches you can make amongst your fish for spawning
when you pass by a big tank a store and say "imagine how many female bettas I could fit in that!"
when you have managed to get other people in your family addicted to bettas too.
when the ONE thing in life that really makes you mad is when you walk into a pet store and find the bettas in bad conditions
when you rip the people in charge of that petstore when they tell you they live in puddles and like it that way
I could go on and on and on here
<-- that too is a sign of being a bettaholic!

You know your addicted if
-every single container you see is mentally inspected for possible fish use somehow (would this be big enough to hold a young betta? How would I heat it? I wonder if the plastic is safe for fish (even though it's holding human foodstuff right now)...
-if you get down to your last 2 fish and swear once they die (old guys) that's it, no more bettas, I'm getting a real life, I'm going to make friends who I can go out and have fun with, I'm going to find out what other humans do with their off-work hours--and then find you've just bought 10 more bettas and seem to be thinking about breeding all of them...
-you've been told in March that we're going on vacation in [December] and the first thing you think about isn't where are we going but that the pet sitter will need to be trained how to feed the fish correctly...
-you've been told in March that we're going on vacation in December and you're mentally figuring backward to see when you should do your last breeding until after you come back....

When you stay up until 3AM searching online to see if you can figure out WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BETTA?
In a panic you post......and then sit until folks from the UK start getting up in hopes they'll read your post.....

John, not sure that's an addiction--sounds kinky to me.

When you've just been holding a mirror up to you bettas for a little exercise and then hold it up in front of your cat to see if it will flare too.
