Well, the first tip is, when you win a 55 gallon tank in a raffle, be prepared to answer the question, "Now where are you going to put that?"

It also helps to surround yourself with fish head friends who are even less moderate than you are. When she brought our family van to the cichlid club auction to pick up the 55 gallon, my sweet wife made the mistake of asking a fellow club member, "Do you know how many aquariums we already have?"

My friend didn't miss a beat and said, "I've got 42."

I only have 12.

You know, that would make a good AC article. "Pursuing a Fish Head Hobby
Without Angering Your Spouse" Possibly a compilation of list member's
experiences? I would be glad to do the compilation...
