You might be obsessed when the number of tanks in your house outnumbers the pieces of furniture in your house.
You might be obsessed when you run a third dedicated electrical breaker to an 8'x12' room.

You might be obsessed when you and a couple of buddies take a day trip to Jersey and come back with 100 bags of fish.
You might be obsessed when the size of your hot water heater forces 3 nights of weekly water changes.

You might be obsessed when you quit your 20 hour/week World of Warcraft obsession so you can manage more tanks.

You might be a fish nut when your 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter know more names of different species of tropical fsh (both common and often scientific) than their class mates combined (any they are big classes) or for that matter all of my adult non fish friends combined.

You might be obsessed when buying a trio of rare wild caught fish for $150 sounds like a good idea... even worse off when you still want to do it after the realization that no one will actually want the fry once they've bred.

You know you're obsessed with the hobby when you realize that your fish schedule is meetings, auctions and conventions in...
Jersey Shore
Northern Jersey
Northern Connecticut
Upstate NY
DC
Lancaster Pa...and these are within the next few weeks.
You know you are obsessed with the hobby when the people who work at the airport already know that you are there to pick up fish.

You might be obsessed when empty tanks start taking over the balance of free space around your house; backyard, patio, shed, attic, spare bedroom, study, dog room....
(yeah, for real)

You might be obsessed when...
...suddenly Iquitos blows everything else away as a destination spot.
...the only present you remember getting just six weeks ago at Christmas is the RO/DI unit you bought for yourself.
...the greenhouse style home you've always envisioned building and living in one day seems to have become semi-aquatic in nature.
...you find the topic of gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens mesmerizing.
...you want to revisit the hills and streams of your youth - with a dipnet and seine.
...you realize that it probably wouldn't really be that hard to identify drainages and watersheds in the Amazon or PNG that hold as yet undiscovered species.
...your friends invite you to go out and part of you would rather stay in and re-scape a tank or some such.
...you did water changes instead of watching the Super Bowl.
