Strange Obsession

Why is it so appealing to be able to mold.design and pose certain things? For instance, James and I went and bought a 2 gallon fish tank kit and about 6 small fish. We enjoyed them so much that we bought (really cheaply, second hand) a 10 gallon and 5 gallon tanks. We immediately went and got another maybe dozen small fish, decorations, plants, etc. We turned the 10 gallon tank into a "Pirate" tank with a skull, live plant, gravel, marbles and a "half shipwreck" ship. We sit and watch them all the time. The other 5 gallon has only 3 fish; Blue Gourami, Pink Kissing fish and bronze fish. They have a "romantic" tank. Lighthouse, white black and red stones, and a large tree stump that I decorated with floating plant stems and flowers. The 2 gallon is retired for now. It's funny to me how much fun it was to decorate a tank for fish that couldn't care less. Not to mention how quickly we became obsessed with more and "better" fish. We went from a starter tank to a 10 gallon in just 1 week! There must be something wrong with us, right?
We had fish for dinner the other night and I felt so bad I couldn't even finish mine... I think I have a problem.

The first step: Admit you have a problem
The next step: "Hello my name is Marie and I'm a Fish-oholic"
