I'm not sure if this the right place for this, so it get moved by a mod. But I figured it would be a fun way to start a conversation and get to know each other. Anyway, the rules of game are simple. You just have to complete the sentence "You know you're obsessed with bettas when..." before you comment on someone else's posts. Since I started the thread I guess I'll go first:

You know you're obsessed with bettas when you have nightmares that Batman is an evil villain that keeps bettas in aquariums that are much too small for them.

I love these sort of threads ^^
~You know you're betta obsessed when your plans including taking over an ENTIRE WALL to cover in shelves filled with betta tanks and terrestrial plants (for line of sight break up between tanks).

~You know you're betta obsessed when you've never tried or considered trying saltwater tanks but when you hear about the marine betta:

you think.. "Well... Maybe I could try a saltwater setup and get one of those." Even though it's not related to our bettas but damn it looks awesome and has "betta" in the name!

~You know you're betta obsessed (or at least obsses with spoiling) when your spending $100-300 per a betta setup (tank, light, substrate, decor, LIVE plants, etc) for 1 betta (which usually is less than $20).

~You know you're betta obsessed when you're wiling to keep a live food culture(s) that takes extra maintenance to keep going, and have a large section of your freezer taken up by frozen foods for fish.
Secondary: someone has almost eaten frozen foods you keep for fish thinking its for humans with its colorful packaging. My husband almost poped blood worms thinking there were tiny stick-less cherry popsicles, fortunately he read the package before he found out the grose way.

You know you're betta obsessed when you have a betta tank(s) by a tv (in same room as tv) and find yourself looking at the tank/fish more than the tv.
Or same scenario but with computer/laptop.

When Petsmart is on your Black Friday shopping list because they have a tank on sale that would be great for the dream betta you don't have or even plan to get.

When you start rewriting "Last Christmas", so that it's about bettas and aquarium keeping.

On this note, I thought I'd share something I didn't even know I started singing to Mishi.

Just a small town fish,
living in a lonely cup,
she took the 2 day post going any-where

Just a city fish,
born and raised in south Thailand,
he took the 2 day post going any-where

A betta in a tiny tank,
a smell of Prime and cheap flourish
Not for some worms he won't share his tank,
it goes on and on and on and on.
