"why dont you get a seahorse"
"becuase they are hard to take care of and require a specific enviroment"
"but its just salt water right"
"yes, but sea hourses require a low flow enviroment and get sick very easily, what they like isnt necesarily what the rest of my fish and stuff like"
"oh. well you should get a sea horse"

The most common questions I get asked.............
Wow, don't saltwaters tanks cost alot?
Aren't saltwater fish really delicate?
Last but not least, why are you so obsessed with fish? It drives me nuts.

Q: Do you enjoy taking care of it? I usually reply with "not really I just spend 6 grand on something here and there that takes a lot of work and time just to piss off my wife."
HAHAHA!!! That cracks me up the most. When I had a blue lobster in my freshwater tank, my husband almost killed me because I spent $24 on the darn thing. My LFS failed to mention it would eat ALL of my other fish
. But long story short....I wonder what he would think about me spending $2500 on just the set up of the tank?? HAHAHA. I think I will tell him. (Now you all know why we are divorced!!!
)

When I got back into SW last year,I set up a 55Gal. W/LS,LR,salt,T-5's,etc.going through cycle,a co worker came by one evening after work,wanted to see my tank and what I had in it! Asked why I don't have anything in it And how much I have in it! I said the tank is going through it's cycle,and there's about $1000.00 sitting there already!He looked at me and said you have a $1000.00 in glass,water,sand,and rock? Then he left and hasn't came back by and visited since.

I sincerely HATE that question. I don't like anyone to know what I pay for anything. That is my business. It is the first thing asked though. Especially if someone notices something new.
that is always what everyone ask me... How much was that?

Q:Why do you have a hospital tank?
A: If a fish gets sick, you can treat it with medicines in the smaller tank. It also prevents the other fish from getting it. You don't want to lose your fish to one outbreak.
Q: Why treat it with medicine? It's just a fish. If it dies just get a new one.
A: This fish cost $50.
Q: Why would you pay $50 for a fish!
____________________________________________________
Isn't it a pain to clean the tank all the time.
____________________________________________________
From my kids at the beginning before they learned...
KIDS: can I feed the fish.
ME: Sure but show me how much you are putting in before you do
KID: How about this?
ME: NO, half of that
KID: What about this?
ME: NO, still half of that
KID: What about this?
ME: Yeah, that is good
KID: Puzzled look

haha no matter who i talk to, it seems to be the most commonly asked question! people dont realize we have way more cooler fish than fresh water sucker fish (plecostymus)
I find that hilarious. People really have no clue. They think...you get fish, you get water, you get food, done. By the way, I know you probably aren't exactly the freshwater buff, but it is plecostomus.
I get asked questions like why do you need all that equipment...why don't you just get a really good filter? People always seem to think that I get ripped off, OH, you bought a pile of rocks for 6 bucks a pound! That lighting costs 250? Why are you buying water for 37 cents a gallon, it's just water!

The most asked question for me is that
Q-Why do you have that undulated trigger in their by its self?
A-because it is really aggresive and will kill anything I put in there.
Q-Soo, Why dont you just put something else in the tank that is aggresive?
I probably got asked that over 100 times
