The Puffer Forum

1. He has more food in your freezer than you do.
2. You spend $50 on plants for his tank at the drop of a hat, but won't spend $25 for that Hydrangea you really wanted.
3. The flagstone you bought to decorate your garden has been made into a bunch of caves, so he won't get bored in his tank.

My fish definitely eat better than me...

I had spaghetti O's last night... The fish had shrimp...

4. You go to the local grocery store and spend $40 on fresh seafood to feed your puffer.
5. You give your puffer vitamins on a daily basis and don't take any for yourself.
6. You buy your puffer a special cup to soak his/her food in, and you use the chipped cup for yourself.
7. There is shrimp in the freezer and you tell your husband that's for the puffer, don't touch it!

what a great little thread!!

8. you are sleep deprived cuz you think your puffer is sick

You specially prepare meals for them on the weekends for the week ahead by putting pieces of shrimp into a shot glass and freezing them, so when feeding time occurs, it's just a thaw, soak, and drop.

Your boyfriend comes over and is more interested in the puffers then you.

Their tank gets cleaned more often than your room.

9. You clean your puffers tank weekly and make sure everything is perfect, yet have to choose the least dirty pair of jeans from mess of clothes scattered all over the floor.

(maybe that's just me... I am a college student)

damn. oh well, you didn't number.

Aww man.


When you turn off the light, you wish them goodnight.

After a 12 hr. work day you walk in and say "Hi' to your puffers before your husband- who you have trained to feed said puffers.

You vacume their gravel more than your carpet.
You show co-workers pics of your puffs more than you do of your own children.
You spend $20 on Melafix and Pimafix but won't spend $5 on a brand name cold medicine.
You keep the temp in your house warmer or cooler than you normaly would, just to keep your tank temp more constant.
Last but not least, your tank is bigger than your TV.

Well they'll get sad if I don't say goodnight...after their bedtime story

You "check on them" every two minutes
You give them kisses through the wall of your tank
You call up the expensive fish market everyday to check if its/their favorite food is in
The people at your local fish store know your name
You worry about their/its future more than your kids'
You're on the puffer forum every day
You stop listening to music because the sound "upsets" them/it

Not all of those apply to me, just the majority

You spend more attention on your puffer then your studying for test
