Check Yourself for these symptoms of the dreaded "get more fish, get more tanks" syndrome.
1. You’ve just put in another pump, and the sponge filters are now bubbling enough to work.
2. You just put your last available sponge filter in a tank.
3. You just found –
a. an empty tank and don’t have a sponge filter to put in it, or
b. an extra sponge filter, with no tank to put it in.
4. An egg [of any kind] just hatched.
5. You just received [or read] the latest F&E Listing.
6. The week has a Saturday in it.
7. Your fishroom is under construction, and you already realize it’s too small.
8. You put killie tanks in your child’s bedroom, even though what she/he really wanted
was some tadpoles.
9. In the local discount store you feel a strange attraction to the plastic container section.
10. You view all clear glass/plastic containers as potential housing for fish.
11. The word "no" no longer applies to offers of orphans or surplus fish from friends.

I found it online and thought I would share. I fear I am guilty of at least buying aquariums and fish for my son, nephews, and friend's children. Not handing out Killi's yet, but Betta's and Cherry shrimp seem to always be a win.
